eleven o’clock
`` The first impression I obtained was that Don Calixto is the most influential person in the town ; the second , that besides him , either with him or against him , there is a Señor Don Platón Peribáñez , almost as influential as Don Calixto . Afterwards I read the two numbers of the Castro periodical attentively , and from this reading I gathered that there is a somewhat hazy question here about an Asylum , where it seems some irregularities have been committed . There is a Republican book-dealer , who is a member of the Council , and on whom the Workmen 's Club depends , and he has asked for information as to the facts from the Municipality , and the followers of Don Calixto and of Don Platón oppose this suggestion as an attack on the good-birth , the honour , and the reputation of such respectable personages . `` Having verified these pieces of news , which are of interest for me , I packed off to church and heard the whole eleven o'clock mass . '' `` Mighty good ! You are quite a man . '' `` Mass ended , I went over to the Baptistery arch and stood there examining it , as if I felt the most terrible symptoms of enthusiasm for carved stone .
