- THROUGH the open window the air-steeped outdoors passed into his room, quietly enveloping him, stealing into his very thought. Esperanza, Julia, the sorry mess he had made of life, The tranquil murmur of conversation issued from the brick-tiled azotea where Don Julian and Carmen were busy puttering away among the rose pots.
- I don’t know yet. Alfredo is not very specific, but I understand Esperanza wants it to be next month.
- She does not seem to be in much of a hurry either
- How can a woman be in a hurry when the man does not hurry her? Papa, do you remember how much in love he was?
- Why is he not a bit more decided, I wonder. He is over thirty, is he not? And still a bachelor! Esperanza must be tired waiting.
- Papa, and when will the ‘long table’ be set?
- One evening, Alfredo and Don Julian decided to go to the neighborhood where she met a young woman. They talked to each other where Alfredo mistaken Julia as the judge's sister.

- A man named Manalang–I kept calling him Manalo. After the tenth time or so, the young man rose from his seat and said suddenly, ‘Pardon me, but my name is Manalang, Manalang.’
- That is nothing, Each time I was about to correct you, but I remembered a similar experience I had once before.
- The best thing to do under the circumstances, I have found out, is to pretend not to hear, and to let the other person find out his mistake without help.

- Did you went straight home after mass?
- Just before Holy Week, Don Julian invited the judge and his family to spend Sunday afternoon at Tanda where he had a coconut plantation and a house on the beach.
- Very much. It looks like home to me, except that we do not have such a lovely beach
- I hope you are enjoying this
