Go to your friends; they are expecting you in the bell-ringer's tower.

They have been talking about me, thinking it is I who keep you in the house.

Go out to walk, uncle! Go and speak of those things that stir you so much, and that those poor people listen to open-mouthed.

Be careful as you go up the stairs; go slowly and stop often, so that the demon of the cough, may not get hold of you." Gabriel spent the later hours of the morning in the bell-ringer's "habitacion." The walls of ancient whitewash were adorned by faded and yellow engravings, representing episodes in the Carlist war, remembrances of the mountain campaign which for long years had been the pride of Mariano, but of which now he never spoke.
Here Gabriel met all his admirers.

Even the shoemaker worked at night in order not to deprive himself of this meeting.
