JUAN CRIsT0BAL

terrible esfuerzo para no prorrumpir en- gritOs
de dOloT, le interrumpio bruscamente dicien-
dole con sequedad glacial:
Dispense usted, peTo tengo necesidad
de delarle
Sc separ6 de 81 sin mas despedida
Semeiante inSensi bildad irrit0 al mo-
linero
No habia deado de advinar el secreto
afectO que unia Su hermana Cristobal
lie parecio mostruOSa Ia indiferencia que este
manifestaba asi es que le juzg6 hombre
sin corazon.
Cristobal Sc habia refugiado en- su habita-
ci6n sofocado por el dolor.
Mientras duro la mudanza no salio de
ella.
Habia echo proposito de mirar por la
ventana, pero no podia menos de hacerlo;
ocuto tras los visillos, espo con dolorosa aten-
Dion la salida de aquellos muebles enseres
Nuerdos.
Al verlos desaparecer para siempre, estu-
voa punto de salir corriendo gritar:
"iNo! inol"
iDejemelos usted
mo Sc los lleve!
Guerra suplicar que lie diesen por 10 me-
nos algdn objeto uno solo, que no Sc la lleva-
zen por complete.
Pero lcomo hubiera podido atreverse a Pc
dir este al melinero?
No tenla derecho ninguno.
