The angry mob descended upon Antonio's home after Narciso's murder, demanding Ultima's blood. The people call her a witch. They do not, however, succeed in taking Ultima, but Antonio's mother had forbidden her to help anyone else.
They came arm in arm into the house where the man called Téllez greeted my mother and Ultima. The formalities did not last long, we all knew the man had come to seek Ultima’s help. My father would gladly give his help to anyone of his old compadres, it only remained to be seen if my mother would allow Ultima to go help. My mother had been very afraid for Ultima since the night Tenorio and his mob came, and she had not allowed Ultima to help anyone since. “People are ungrateful,” she said, “they seek her help and after la Grande has risked her life to help them then they brand her a witch. Nonsense! We have no use for that kind of people!”
