And so it was for a few years, during the years of trips through Europe of Tomás Rodaja.

Saying Tomás that that lady said she had been in Italy and Flanders and to see if she knew her went to visit her, whose visit and Vista was in love with Thomas. You repair that Tomás was perfectly sane. And he, without seeing in it, if it was not by force or carried by others, He didn’t want to enter his house, he seemed an impostor, a influencer, Una Sleep “.
