page 129...

....teth said  it was the  statue  of   saint Liza 
 She explained  she believed  the young  woman  who had told that to her, padrino  asked what  more  could  she tell  him about it,  teth gad nothing  much  to tell,  she used to call her snall  woman  with a karge bag,  , she always  carried the bag around  her waist,  , she appeared  a good woman though  her art wasn't  good enough,   
Padrino  noticed   three square  frame  prints  on the  wall behind  the statue,  faded yet visible,   he asked teth to explain this,  her face  turned red and she remained  silent  for a  long while,  then she began  she had been  just  once  to his bedroom when he had  caught  pneumonia,  now  she  was stammering,  she could not  remember  clearly  the evil faces of those little    ugly devils,  she did not like  seeing  such faces  going to bed ,saying  so she shut the   door and stepped into the living room,  when she saw pomaris  he was cold to touch like ice,  she could  hardly move him because he was so  heavy 
Padrino  observed  it was strange  a man  like  pomaris  lay there  cold like ice and she found  no traces of struggle
