One Hundred Years of Solitude

aged nun knocked at the door
bearing a small basket on her
arm. When she opened the
door Santa Sofía de la Piedad
thought that it was a gift and
tried to take the small basket
that was covered with a
lovely lace wrap. But the nun
stopped her because she had
instructions to give it
personally and with the
strictest secrecy to Dońa
Fernanda del Carpio de
Buendía. It was Memes son.
