- Fulgor takes off, remembering how his old boss, Pedro's dad, used to say that his son, Pedro, was good for nothing.
- He says that he would have tried to get a new job now that Lucas, the elder Páramo, was dead, but that he loved the Media Luna ranch too much.
- There's an interesting issue in the second paragraph, where Fulgor regrets having gone to see Miguel.
- That's weird because he was talking to Pedro, and Miguel is presumably not yet born in this scene.
- The original Spanish doesn't mention Miguel by name, just says him, so it's either an error or intentional ambiguity. You know, because this is a pretty ambiguity-heavy novel.
