We found that things were packed ready for removal.

A good supper was soon ready, but while it was being prepared we took a cool bath, by moonlight, in the trough bath-tub out in the _patio_.
In the morning we heard the full story.

Formerly there was here a priest, who devoted his whole life to this parish, growing old in its service; in his old age he was pensioned, with sixty pesos monthly from the parish receipts.

The priest who succeeded him, coming something over three years ago, was a much younger man.

During his three years of service, he was continually grumbling; the work was hard, his health was bad at Chila, the heat was intolerable; he wished another parish.
