Chapter 32 Summary

In the morning, Puri hears a chorus of angry voices in the house. Descending the stairs, she sees Don Fernando del Río yelling at Angélica with Martin between them. Laurent observes from a distance. Don Fernando accuses Martin of stealing one of his foreign buyers, and Martin responds mockingly, saying that he simply negotiates better.

Don Fernando attacks Martin, and they wrestle on the floor until Don Fernando starts to choke Martin. Puri wraps her arm around Don Fernando, who rises, picking up Puri as well. He punches her in the face. She closes her eyes, awaiting his next punch, but Martin attacks him instead. As Laurent holds Martin back, Angélica orders Don Fernando out.

Martin takes Puri to his house to dress her wounds, and he tells her that he doesn’t need her to defend him. She snaps back at him, and he thanks her. They see Mayra at the house, and Martin reports that she and Bachita don’t get along. As he leads her upstairs, she hesitates, worried about the impropriety of being in his room. He dismisses her concern, and he tends to her wounds.

He takes off her facial hair, remarking that she’s more attractive as a woman than a man and that she will have to wait to put her facial hair back on.
