The Shadow of the Cathedral

CHAPTER IV
7/43

This plan of selling entrance tickets to see the treasures and curiosities of the Cathedral filled all his thoughts.

It was the salvation of the church, the modern proceeding to help it on, and he felt proud of fulfilling this function, which made him one of the most important persons in the life of the temple.
"You see these green tickets ?" said he to Gabriel.

"These are the dearest, they cost two pesetas each.

With these you can see everything that is most important--the treasury, the chapel of the Virgin, and the Ochavo with its relics which are unique in the world.

The other cathedrals are dirt compared with ours, and their relics lies, many of them invented on account of the envy that our Holy Metropolitan Church inspired.
