She generally asked.
In fact Juan had related To Evarista AZ
tef>hCir marriage, a certain episode Of his
life that for him was full Of sadness. Here

secretly 10 Evarista. During the period
Of boyhood he gave not much Importance
to the episode But in later years il came
10 be a subject Of serious meditation.
