I will allow them thirty thousand _ reales _ , and we will content ourselves with fifty thousand . What I am afraid of is , that I shall get a rascally brother-in-law who will run through the property . '' Thus chatting , they spent the time till ten o'clock , and then they decided to go to bed . Miguel arose first and helped his wife to her feet ; they lighted the candle and went to their room . Maximina , according to custom , `` blessed '' the chamber , repeating a number of prayers which she had learned in the convent . Then they tranquilly went to sleep .
