Latour is determined to have a Cathedral built in Santa Fe. Don Antonio Olivares strongly agrees with Latour in his decision making and agrees to give him the money to have it built during a New Years party. His second wife, Dona Isabella looks very young for her age. Derived from France, she makes good friends with many of the French priests because they are more easily able to relate to their home life away from home. She is also high spirited and attractive. Her husband Don Antonio is a rounded man in the weight category; he seems slow as well. Latour likes the man because of the way he presents himself. When Don Antonio gives gifts to Latour and Jacinto, it seems as if he knows the two very well. He issued a gift that was pleasing to the eye to Latour, and one that was tasteful to Valliant. Later in the new year, Don Olivares died. He also forgot to will the money for the new cathedral to Latour. Olivares’s brothers tried to get his money and failed in doing so although it seemed that they might have gotten it for a minute. Dona Isabella would not tell the truth about her age because she had a mindset that looks are more important than money. She finally agreed to admit to being 52 even though she originally said she was 42 and received the money from that point. Afterwards, she holds a party at her house and is greeted by the priests whom had given her the right to her husband’s will. Book six ends with the priests and Dona Isabella laughing because of a funny joke she made about why she lied about her age.
