Chapter 29

Posted by Develos

Capitan Tiago dies, and is given a decent burial.  Padre Irene is the executor of his will. His riches are divided among Santa Clara, the pope, the Archbishop, and other religious organizations. Twenty pesos is left for the matriculation of the students. Padre Irene suggests this so that it will appear that he is on the side of the students.  Capitan Tiago removes from his will the twenty-five pesos intended for Basilio for the youth’s inability to recognize his indebtedness to the old man, but Padre Irene decides to give it to him still, and says that it will come from the friar’s own pockets.
