He
bought
them
some
furniture
and
gave
them
some
money
until
José
Arcadio
recovered
his
sense
of
reality
and
began
to
work
the
noman
's
-
land
that
bor-dered
the
courtyard
of
the
house
.
Amaranta
,
on
the
other
hand
,
never
did
overcome
her
rancor
against
Rebeca
,
even
though
life
offered
her
a
satisfaction
of
which
she
had
not
dreamed
:
at
the
initiative
of
úrsula
,
who
did
not
know
how
to
repair
the
shame
,
Pietro
Crespi
continued
having
lunch
at
the
house
on
Tuesdays
,
rising
above
his
defeat
with
a
serene
dignity
.
He
still
wore
the
black
ribbon
on
his
hat
as
a
sign
of
respect
for
the
family
,
and
he
took
pleasure
in
showing
his
affection
for
úrsula
by
bringing
her
exotic
gifts
:
Portuguese
sardines
,
Turkish
rose
marmalade
,
and
on
one
occasion
a
lovely
Manila
shawl
.
Amaranta
looked
after
him
with
a
loving
diligence
.
She
anticipated
his
wants
,
pulled
out
the
threads
on
the
cuffs
of
his
shirt
,
and
embroidered
a
dozen
handkerchiefs
with
his
initials
for
his
birthday
.
On
Tuesdays
,
after
lunch
,
while
she
would
embroider
on
the
porch
,
he
would
keep
her
happy
company
.
For
Pietro
Crespi
,
that
woman
whom
he
always
had
considered
and
treated
as
a
child
was
a
revelation
.
Although
her
temperament
lacked
grace
,
she
had
a
rare
sensibility
for
appreciating
the
things
of
the
world
had
a
secret
tenderness
.
One
Tuesday
,
when
no
one
doubted
that
sooner
or
later
it
had
to
happen
,
Pietro
Crespi
asked
her
to
marry
him
.
She
did
not
stop
her
work
.
She
waited
for
the
hot
blush
to
leave
her
ears
and
gave
her
voice
a
serene
stress
of
maturity
.
252
"
Of
course
,
Crespi
,
"
she
said
.
253
"
But
when
we
know
each
other
better
.
It
's
never
good
to
be
hasty
in
things
.

úrsula
was
confused
.
In
spite
of
the
esteem
she
had
for
Pietro
Crespi
,
she
could
not
tell
whether
his
decision
was
good
or
bad
from
the
moral
point
of
view
after
his
prolonged
and
famous
engagement
to
Rebeca
.
But
she
finally
accepted
it
as
an
unqualified
fact
because
no
one
shared
her
doubts
.
Aureliano
,
who
was
the
man
of
the
house
,
confused
her
further
with
his
enigmatic
and
final
opinion
:
255
"
These
are
not
times
to
go
around
thinking
about
weddings
.
"
256
That
opinion
,
which
úrsula
understood
only
some
months
later
,
was
the
only
sincere
one
that
Aureliano
could
express
at
that
moment
,
not
only
with
respect
to
marriage
,
but
to
anything
that
was
not
war
.
He
himself
,
facing
a
firing
squad
,
would
not
understand
too
well
the
concatenation
of
the
series
of
subtle
but
irrevocable
accidents
that
brought
him
to
that
point
.
The
death
of
Remedios
had
not
produced
the
despair
that
he
had
feared
.
It
was
,
rather
,
a
dull
feeling
of
rage
that
grades
ally
dissolved
in
a
solitary
and
passive
frustration
similar
to
the
one
he
had
felt
during
the
time
he
was
resigned
to
living
without
a
woman
.
He
plunged
into
his
work
again
,
but
he
kept
up
the
custom
of
playing
dominoes
with
his
father-in-law
.
In
a
house
bound
up
in
mourning
,
the
nightly
conversations
consolidated
the
friendship
between
the
two
men
.
"
Get
married
again
.
Aurelito
,
"
his
father-in-law
would
tell
him
.
"
I
have
six
daughters
for
you
to
choose
from
.
"
257
On
one
occasion
on
the
eve
of
the
elections
,
Don
Apolinar
Moscote
returned
from
one
of
his
frequent
trips
worried
about
the
political
situation
in
the
country
.
The
Liberals
were
determined
to
go
to
war
.
Since
Aureliano
at
that
time
had
very
confused
notions
about
the
difference
between
Conservatives
and
Liberals
,
his
father-in-law
gave
him
some
schematic
lessons
.
The
Liberals
,
he
said
,
were
Freemasons
,
bad
people
,
wanting
to
hang
priests
,
to
institute
civil
marriage
and
divorce
,
to
recognize
the
rights
of
illegitimate
children
as
equal
to
those
of
legitimate
ones
,
and
to
cut
the
country
up
into
a
federal
system
that
would
take
power
away
from
the
supreme
authority
.
The
Conservatives
,
on
the
other
hand
,
who
had
received
their
power
directly
from
God
,
proposed
the
establishment
public
order
and
family
morality
.
They
were
the
defenders
of
the
faith
of
Christ
,
of
the
principle
of
authority
,
and
were
not
prepared
to
permit
the
country
to
be
broken
down
into
autonomous
entities
.
Because
of
his
humanitarian
feelings
Aureliano
sympathized
with
the
Liberal
attitude
with
respect
to
the
rights
of
natural
children
,
but
in
any
case
,
he
could
not
understand
how
people
arrived
at
the
extreme
of
waging
war
over
things
that
could
not
be
touched
with
the
hand
.
It
seemed
an
exaggeration
to
him
that
for
the
elections
his
father-in
--
law
had
them
send
six
soldiers
armed
with
rifles
under
the
comma
sergeant
to
a
town
with
no
political
passions
.

They
not
only
arrived
,
but
they
went
from
house
to
house
confiscating
hunting
weapons
,
machetes
,
and
even
kitchen
knives
before
they
distributed
among
males
over
twenty-one
the
blue
ballots
with
the
names
of
the
Conservative
candidates
and
the
red
ballots
the
names
of
the
Liberal
candidates
.
On
the
eve
of
the
elections
Don
Apolinar
Moscote
himself
read
a
decree
that
prohibited
the
sale
of
alcoholic
beverages
and
the
gathering
together
of
more
than
three
people
who
were
not
of
the
same
family
.
The
elections
took
place
without
incident
.
At
eight
o'clock
on
Sunday
morning
a
wooden
ballot
box
was
set
up
in
the
square
,
which
was
watched
over
by
the
six
soldiers
.
The
voting
was
absolutely
free
,
as
Aureliano
himself
was
able
to
attest
since
he
spent
almost
the
entire
day
with
his
father-in-law
seeing
that
no
one
voted
more
than
once
.
At
four
in
the
afternoon
a
roll
drums
in
the
square
announced
the
closing
of
the
polls
and
Don
Apolinar
Moscote
sealed
the
ballot
box
with
a
label
crossed
by
his
signature
.
That
night
,
while
he
played
dominoes
with
Aureliano
,
he
ordered
the
sergeant
to
break
the
seal
in
order
to
count
the
votes
.
There
were
almost
as
many
red
ballots
as
blue
,
but
the
sergeant
left
only
ten
red
ones
made
up
the
difference
with
blue
ones
.
Then
they
sealed
the
box
again
with
a
new
label
and
the
first
thing
on
the
following
day
it
was
taken
to
the
capital
of
the
province
.
"
The
Liberals
will
go
to
war
,
"
Aureliano
said
.
Don
Apolinar
concentrated
on
his
domino
pieces
.
"
If
you
're
saying
that
because
of
the
switch
in
ballots
,
they
wo
n't
,
"
he
said
.
259
"
We
left
a
few
red
ones
in
so
there
wo
n't
be
any
complaints
.
"
Aureliano
understood
the
disadvantages
of
being
in
the
opposition
.
"
I
were
a
Liberal
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
'd
go
to
war
because
of
those
ballots
.
"
His
father-in-law
looked
at
him
over
his
glasses
.
260
"
Come
now
,
Aurelito
,
"
he
said
,
"
if
you
were
a
Liberal
,
even
though
you
're
my
son-in-law
,
you
would
n't
have
seen
the
switching
of
the
ballots
.
"
