nothing,    but on  a   certain night
when    Gerineldo   Márquez and
Magnífico    Visbal  were
speaking     with    some    other
friends about   the incident    of
the knives, they    asked   him if
he   was     a   Liberal     or  a
Conservative.    Aureliano   did
not hesitate.
            If  I   have    to  be  somethingIll  be  a   Liberal,    he  said,
because the Conservatives   are
tricky.
