Ever since the baroness and the sociologist had met at the garrulous gathering of the Colonel's wife, Horacio began to frequent the baroness's house and deliver courses in anthropology and sociology in the dining-room. Manuel had no idea as to what those sciences might be in the original, but as translated into Adalusian by the baroness's cousin, they were certainly picturesque. Manuel and Niña Chucha listened to the Berber with intense interest, and at times offered objections, which he answered, if not with very scientific arguments at least with an abundance of wit.
Cousin Horacio got into the habit of staying for supper and finally remained after supper as well. Niña Chucha favoured the Berber perhaps through racial affinity, and laughed, showing her white teeth, whenever Don Sergio came on a visit.
