and Conchita was beginning to undergo their consequences: that if the food no it knew well, that
if the coffee were not enough the strong thing, that if the car were not or clean or the stairs
were dust floods. And when not it complained, locked in in his estudio with books. It had not
returned to touch a its wife since they went to San Antonio, and it felt left.
Days before Christmas, Erin began to repair in the great change that was experimented
from its arrival to Staghorn. It had continued haciendo exercises religiously, although Ty no
longer took care of her, and it had begun to walk without leaning in the muleta. Its face had
recovered his brightness and had raised a little weight. Every time it was looked more like the
model than It brushes it had taken to the farm once, and whichever better it was, huraño
became his more husband.
It was returning to see it so and as it was: a princess who could have the man who she
wanted at any time. As soon as he was
recovered absolutely, he would march Staghorn, he
would return to his old life and it would remain single. Damn it is! He was something that knew
from the beginning, no? He was he who had itself proposed to obtain that it returned to walk to
compensate it by the pain that him it had caused. But no longer it could soportar to be near her.
Its heart was too vulnerable. If it were not walked with care, it would lose it when Erin it
marched to New York. It delivered enormous attacks not to worry about her, but he was llegan-
do to the limit of its resistance. That day in San Antonio, when it gave rienda loose to his
emotions, it was not more than a faldero small dog in place of a man, dancing to his around. That
one weakness was to him insoportable, and the voice of its father resonated in its subconscious
mind preaching it, saying to him that no woman had to be able to put it in that situación.
Finally, one tomorrow it decided that the moment had arrived for attacking, to face Erin
and to itself. When it arrived at the hall, where it knew that she would be making her exercises,
one stopped in the door for mirarla.
Erin it raised almost without difficulty and the hair lay down backwards.
-- You wanted something? -- it asked like going to a stranger.
Ty took the cigarette to the lips and watched it like in the first days: with a smile
contemptuous that put the end hairs to him.
--No is bad -- it said --. You are recovering your figure.
--No you make fun of of me -- it responded, trying to maintain voice serena --. I cannot
improve my aspect.
In that we are equal.
Erin leaned in the armchair and it watched it with fixedness. He was a little thinner and it
had several wrinkles more in the face.
-- It happens something? -- it asked, surprising it --. And I do not talk about to between
us two.
-- Why? It is that it seems it? -- he inquired, surrounded in a cloud of, smoke.
-- You seem worried.
-- I have some financial problems -- it revealed after a brief pause --. Or it would have to
say we must, Mrs. Wade?
-- He is serious?
--Lo sufficient. I invested a strong amount of money in grain purchase stops to feed the
animals during the winter. The silo was of a corporation that it has broken. The grain was
confiscated and that forced to me to sell part of the cattle when the price of the market was
enough low. In the businesses, like in it dominated, a loss causes another one. Perhaps we leave,
perhaps no. It is going to be necessary to give many returns to the subject. We can get to lose
half of what we have.
-- Good, half is not so terrible, considering the size d Staghorn, no?
-- you Could to live with average body?
-- he is not that what there am been doing?
And as if those words had been a species of spell, Ty gave average return and it
disappeared. ¡If a single time were at least able to remain and to discuss things!
Erin did not believe to have never had one Christmas so sad. The size of his had disimu-
lado gift surrounding it in a pile of boxes to put it under the tree, but no it could let worry
about which would be the reaction of Ty when opening it. His marriage almost was destroyed,
and it had bought him a wedding ring very expensive. It had thought about giving back, but its
heart prevented it. While there was the minimum opportunity of than a day it got to worry
about it, could not surrender.
The day of Christmas rose early. When it arrived at the dining room, Ty already was
seated to the table, very elegant with its trousers new and a shirt to rays. It was perfectly
hairdo and just shaved and Erin knew that it had done it by it, but could not thank to him. The
tension among them continued being very hard, and only with being in his presencia one felt very
uncomfortable.
-- Happy Christmas -- it said very educadamente.
-- Happy Christmas -- he answered, rising of his chair and indicating to him that he
seated in front of him. Account occurred of which it walked already without the muleta and
almost without cojear. The dress that had been put was of the same color that its eyes. It took
loose hair, that smoothly framed its made up face.
-- Precious -- it murmured, and when she I watch it. surprised, it added --. Me I refer to
decoration of the tree.
Erin it returned to watch the tree and it saw the foot of this one a new package next to
which it already knew that they were of Jose and Conchita.
-- You bought something for me? -- it asked, watching it.
-- Good, yes...
--Yo also I bought something for you.
The two boxes they were very great and Erin was asked if he would have done just like
she. Too much coincidence, thought.
One used cup of coffee of the precious service of silver that Conchita had arranged in it
pulls, it took a roll and one complied in a armchair.
--Ya you walk far better -- his husband commented, leaning in the endorsement of his
chair with one cup of coffee in the hand.
--He been working hard.
--Un great change, compared with your first days in the farm.
-- Yes. A good one change.
-- You want to open the gifts? -- he asked, after taking I suck of his cup. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
