In the afternoon, Luis Cervantes awoke, rubbed his eyes, and sat up. He had been lying on the hard ground, among the flowerpots of the orchard. Near him Anastasio Montañés, Pancracio, and Quail breathed loudly, deep asleep.
He felt his lips cracked and his nose swollen and dried out, saw that he had blood on his hands and on his shirt, and all of a sudden recalled what had happened. He quickly got up and walked toward a room, pushed at the door several times, but was unable to open it. He stood indecisively for a few moments, uncertain what to do.
