Aureliano
checked
his
feet
and
raised
his
head
.
He
did
not
know
how
he
had
come
there
,
but
he
knew
what
his
aim
was
,
because
he
had
carried
it
hidden
since
infancy
in
an
inviolable
backwater
of
his
heart
.
172
"
I
've
come
to
sleep
with
you
,
"
he
said
.
173
His
clothes
were
smeared
with
mud
and
vomit
.
Pilar
Ternera
,
who
lived
alone
at
that
time
with
her
two
younger
children
,
did
not
ask
him
any
questions
.
She
took
him
to
the
bed
.
She
cleaned
his
face
with
a
damp
cloth
,
took
of
his
clothes
,
and
then
got
completely
undressed
and
lowered
the
mosquito
netting
so
that
her
children
would
not
see
them
if
they
woke
up
.
She
had
become
tired
of
waiting
for
the
man
who
would
stay
,
of
the
men
who
left
,
of
the
countless
men
who
missed
the
road
to
her
house
,
confused
by
the
uncertainty
of
the
cards
.
During
the
wait
her
skin
had
become
wrinkled
,
her
breasts
had
withered
,
the
coals
of
her
heart
had
gone
out
.
She
felt
for
Aureliano
in
the
darkness
,
put
her
hand
on
his
stomach
and
kissed
him
on
the
neck
with
a
maternal
tenderness
.
"
My
poor
child
,
"
she
murmured
.
Aureliano
shuddered
.

With
a
calm
skill
,
without
the
slightest
misstep
,
he
left
his
accumulated
grief
behind
and
found
Remedios
changed
into
a
swamp
without
horizons
,
smelling
of
a
raw
animal
and
recently
ironed
clothes
.
When
he
came
to
the
surface
he
was
weeping
.
First
they
were
involuntary
and
broken
sobs
.
Then
he
emptied
himself
out
in
an
unleashed
flow
,
feeling
that
something
swollen
and
painful
had
burst
inside
of
him
.
She
waited
,
snatching
his
head
with
the
tips
fingers
,
until
his
body
got
rid
of
the
dark
material
that
would
not
let
him
live
.
They
Pilar
Ternera
asked
him
:
"
Who
is
it
?
"
And
Aureliano
told
her
.
She
let
out
a
laugh
that
in
other
times
frightened
the
doves
and
that
now
did
not
even
wake
up
the
children
.
"
You
'll
have
to
raise
her
first
,
"
she
mocked
,
but
underneath
the
mockery
Aureliano
found
a
reservoir
of
understanding
.
When
he
went
out
of
the
room
,
leaving
behind
not
only
his
doubts
about
his
virility
but
also
the
bitter
weight
that
his
heart
had
borne
for
so
many
months
,
Pilar
Ternera
made
him
a
spontaneous
promise
.
175
"
I
'm
going
to
talk
to
the
girl
,
"
she
told
him
,
"
and
you
'll
see
what
I
'll
serve
her
on
the
tray
.
"
176
She
kept
her
promise
.
But
it
was
a
bad
moment
,
because
the
house
had
lost
its
peace
of
former
days
.
When
she
discovered
Rebeca
's
passion
,
which
was
impossible
to
keep
secret
because
of
her
shouts
,
Amaranta
suffered
an
attack
of
fever
.
She
also
suffered
from
the
barb
of
a
lonely
love
.
Shut
up
in
the
bathroom
,
she
would
release
herself
from
the
torment
of
a
hopeless
passion
by
writing
feverish
letters
,
which
she
finally
hid
in
the
bottom
of
her
trunk
.
177
úrsula
barely
had
the
strength
to
take
care
of
the
two
sick
girls
.
She
was
unable
,
after
prolonged
and
insidious
interrogations
,
to
ascertain
the
causes
of
Amaranta
's
prostration
.
Finally
,
in
another
moment
of
inspiration
,
she
forced
the
lock
on
the
trunk
and
found
the
letters
tied
with
a
pink
ribbon
,
swollen
with
fresh
lilies
and
still
wet
with
tears
,
addressed
and
never
sent
to
Pietro
Crespi
.
Weeping
with
rage
,
she
cursed
the
day
that
it
had
occurred
to
her
to
buy
the
pianola
,
she
forbade
the
embroidery
lessons
and
decreed
a
kind
of
mourning
with
no
one
dead
which
was
to
be
prolonged
until
the
daughters
got
over
their
hopes
.
Useless
was
the
intervention
of
José
Arcadio
Buendía
,
who
had
modified
his
first
impression
Pietro
Crespi
and
admired
his
ability
in
the
manipulation
of
musical
machines
.
So
that
when
Pilar
Ternera
told
Aureliano
that
Remedios
had
decided
on
marriage
,
he
could
see
that
the
news
would
only
give
his
parents
more
trouble
.
Invited
to
the
parlor
for
a
formal
interview
,
José
Arcadio
Buendía
and
úrsula
listened
stonily
to
their
son
's
declaration
.
When
he
learned
the
name
of
the
fiancée
,
however
,
José
Arcadio
Buendía
grew
red
with
indignation
.
"
Love
is
a
disease
,
"
he
thundered
.
"
With
so
many
pretty
and
decent
girls
around
,
the
only
thing
that
occurs
to
you
is
to
get
married
to
the
daughter
of
our
enemy
.
"
But
úrsula
agreed
the
choice
.
She
confessed
her
affection
for
the
seven
Moscote
sisters
.
for
their
beauty
,
their
ability
for
work
,
their
modesty
,
and
their
good
manners
,
and
she
celebrated
her
son
's
prudence
.

Conquered
by
his
wife
's
enthusiasm
,
José
Arcadio
Buendía
then
laid
down
one
condition
:
Rebeca
,
who
was
the
one
he
wanted
,
would
marry
Pietro
Crespi
.
úrsula
would
take
Amaranta
on
a
trip
to
the
capital
of
the
province
when
she
had
time
,
so
that
contact
with
different
people
would
alleviate
her
disappointment
.
Rebeca
got
her
health
back
just
as
soon
as
she
heard
of
the
agreement
,
and
she
wrote
her
fiancé
a
jubilant
letter
that
she
submitted
to
her
parents
'
approval
and
put
into
the
mail
without
the
use
of
any
intermediaries
.
Amaranta
pretended
to
accept
the
decision
and
little
by
little
she
recovered
from
her
fevers
,
but
she
promised
herself
that
Rebeca
would
marry
only
over
her
dead
body
.
179
The
following
Saturday
José
Arcadio
Buendía
put
on
his
dark
suit
,
his
celluloid
collar
,
and
the
deerskin
boots
that
he
had
worn
for
the
first
time
the
night
of
the
party
,
and
went
to
ask
for
the
hand
of
Remedios
Moscote
.
The
magistrate
and
his
wife
received
him
,
pleased
and
worried
at
the
same
time
,
for
they
did
not
know
the
reason
for
the
unexpected
visit
,
and
then
they
thought
that
he
was
confused
about
the
name
of
the
intended
bride
.
In
order
to
remove
the
mistake
,
the
mother
woke
Remedios
up
and
carried
her
into
the
living
room
,
still
drowsy
from
sleep
.
They
asked
her
if
it
was
true
that
she
had
decided
to
get
married
,
and
she
answered
,
whimpering
,
that
she
only
wanted
them
to
let
her
sleep
.
José
Arcadio
Buendía
,
understanding
the
distress
of
the
Moscotes
,
went
to
clear
things
up
with
Aureliano
.
180
When
he
returned
,
the
Moscotes
had
put
on
formal
clothing
,
had
rearranged
the
furniture
put
fresh
flowers
in
the
vases
,
and
were
waiting
in
the
company
of
their
older
daughters
.
Overwhelmed
by
the
unpleasantness
of
the
occasion
and
the
bothersome
hard
collar
,
José
Arcadio
Buendía
confirmed
the
fact
that
Remedios
,
indeed
,
was
the
chosen
one
.
"
It
does
n't
make
sense
,
"
Don
Apolinar
Moscote
said
with
consternation
.
"
We
have
six
other
daughters
,
all
unmarried
,
and
at
an
age
where
they
deserve
it
,
who
would
be
delighted
to
be
the
honorable
wife
of
a
gentleman
as
serious
and
hardworking
as
your
son
,
and
Aurelito
lays
his
eyes
precisely
on
the
one
who
still
wets
her
bed
.
"
His
wife
,
a
well-preserved
woman
with
afflicted
eyelids
and
expression
,
scolded
his
mistake
.
When
they
finished
the
fruit
punch
,
they
willingly
accepted
Aureliano
's
decision
.
Except
that
Se?ora
Moscote
begged
the
favor
of
speaking
to
úrsula
alone
.
Intrigued
,
protesting
that
they
were
involving
her
in
men
's
affairs
,
but
really
feeling
deep
emotion
,
úrsula
went
to
visit
her
the
next
day
.
A
half
hour
later
she
returned
with
the
news
that
Remedios
had
not
reached
puberty
.
Aureliano
did
not
consider
that
a
serious
barrier
.
He
had
waited
so
long
that
he
could
wait
as
long
as
was
necessary
until
his
bride
reached
the
age
of
conception
.
