Throughout the book things have been confusing. The third chapter starts talking about Captain Fellow getting home from work realle happy and in a good attitude. When he gets home his wife is there and he starts asking about his daugther. His wife tells him she is with the police, a diffrent police that got to the town and spend the night at their place. What I first thought was that the priest (person wanted in the US) was Captain Fellow because of the way his wife reacted everythime he was near her.''Terror was always just behind her shoulder: she was wasted by the effort of not turning round. She dressed up her fear...''(33) Later, Coral, his daughter got home and said the lieutenant wanted to talk to him. ''I'm looking for a man, He has been reported in this district...He is a priest. I trust yoy will report at once if he is seen...we expect you to makje a proper return for our hospitality''(35) As the quote before shows Captain Fellow and his family are not Mexican, which made me think he was the priest undercover, but at the same time in the chapter before he talked about his family and not seeing it in many years. After lieutenant had the talk with Captain Fellow, his daughter took him to the big barn. There was a man hiding, he was an talked english and he asked for '' A little brandy''(38) With this man saying this, it concludes imediatly that he is the priest, and he is hiding. What really amazes me is the way in which Coral helpes him and later talkes him food and tells him she will help him with everything he wants and he can came everytime he needs. Coral gave him a code so if he came back she knew it was him. It impresses me the way that Captain Fellow and Coral (more Coral than her father) act in a way in which they do not report this person which is wanted in all Central America and they just keep him in their barn hiding him from the authorities and telling hiom when he should leave. Another thing that amazes me as I said before is the way people have lost their faith in God and they do not belive in him as Coral told the priest when he told him to pray for him.
After this things happen, it changes to another scene, where some priest gets to some place and they let him stay there for the night and lets all these people confesse. It is really weird because I thought it was the pries that is wanted because of the things he was saying. '' And confession, father will you hear our confesions? Yes, but let me sleep first...(44) But after thinking that, the old man that was talking to him said..''The other priest, Padre Jose...''(44) and supposely this priest was Padre Jose, so I'm am getting confused with this chapter.
