they didn't last me a outlet louboutin shoesweek. And I wouldn't have lasted much longer myself trying to keep up with him. So because of this and some other little things that I don't want to mentionI left him. THE LIFE OF LAZARILLO OF TORMESHIS FORTUNES AND MISFORTUNES AS TOLD BY HIMSELF 54 V. How Lazaro Went to Work for a Pardoner and the Things That Happened to Him Then As luck would have itthe fifth one I ran into was a seller of papal indulgences. He was arrogantwithout principlesthe biggest hawker of indulgences that I've ever seen in my life or ever hope to see--and probably the biggest one of all time. He had all sorts of ruses and underhanded tricksand he was always thinking up new ones. When he'd come to a place where he was going to sell these pardons first he'd give the priests and the other clergy some presents--just little things that really weren't worth much: some lettuce from Murcia; a couple limes or oranges if they were in season; maybe a peach; some pears--the kind that stay green even after they're ripe. That way he tried to win them over so they'd look kindly on his business and call out their congregation to buy up the indulgences. When they thanked himhe'd find out how well educated they were. |
