El Fili much...

It was in fact Makaraig, with Pecson, Sandoval, and Isagani. Upon seeing them, Tadeo advanced and spoke to them.

"Aren't you coming in?" Makaraig asked him.

"We haven't been able to get tickets."

"Fortunately, we have a box," replied Makaraig. "Basilio couldn't come. Both of you, come in with us."

Tadeo did not wait for the invitation to be repeated, but the novice, fearing that he would intrude, with the timidity natural to the provincial Indian, excused himself, nor could he be persuaded to enter.


[Just in case you didn't get it, the novice is some random guy who was with Tadeo.]

So... BC and I have the timidity natural to the provincial Indian?

Ohohoho, no wonder BC calls Maica Spanish.

BC's totally oppressed by Maica. :))
