| Front | Aquella misma noche, en el curso de la charla de las dos mujeres, me enteré por primera vez de que mi padre había sido un humilde pastor; de que mi madre se casó con él contra la voluntad de sus padres, quienes consideraban al mío como muy inferior a ellos; de que mi abuelo, enfurecido, se negó a ayudar a mi madre ni con un chelín; de que mi padre había contraído el tifus visitando a los enfermos pobres de una ciudad fabril donde estaba situado su curato; y de que se lo contagió a mi madre, muriendo los dos con el intervalo de un mes. |
