#HOUSE OF SPIRITS SHMOOP CODE#

Esteban and Clara find a cookie tin filled with the unopened envelopes of money that Esteban sent Férula over the years.

As she works, she confesses to Férula how much she misses her.

Clara washes Férula's body and dresses her up 'in the most eccentric and elegant rags she could find,' then replaces the opera wig (5.38).

She's 'festooned like an Austrian queen,' wearing gaudy used clothing that she'd picked up at a secondhand shop: a velvet dress, yellow petticoats, and a curly opera wig (5.35). They find Férula dead in her bed, in a dilapidated tenement building.

Esteban and Clara get Father Antonio to take them to where Férula has been living.

She approaches Clara and kisses her, then leaves. Suddenly Férula appears in the dining room.

Back in the big house on the corner, the whole Trueba family is having dinner together, including Jaime and Nicolás, who are home from school.
