Chapter 8 THE TWINS

JUST BECAUSE THE TWINS WERE SO DIFFERENT. OF HIS MOTHER, THE LADY LUCIFER, AS HE WAS DISCREETLY CALLED IN HER ABSENCE.

THE TWINS WERE HAVING LUNCH WITH THEIR FRIENDS UNTIL THE CHAUFFEUR ARRIVED, THEN ASKED THE WAITERS TO MAKE EXTRA SNACKS FOR FRIENDS TO TAKE TO THEIR RELATIVES, THE WAITERS WERE MOVED BY THE ACTION OF THOSE TWO SO KIND AND HUMBLE BROTHERS, THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THEY WERE CHILDREN OF MRS LUCEFA SANTIAGO.

ONE OF THEM EVEN TOLD THE TWINS THAT THEY INHERITED THE HUMILITY AND KINDNESS OF THEIR FATHER, MR. MORDECAI SANTIAGO, THEY WERE HAPPY TO HEAR SUCH COMPLIMENTS, COMING FROM THEIR PARENTS' EMPLOYEES.

THE TWO WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER, IN EVERYTHING THEY PARTICIPATED IN EVENTS AND SCHOOL TRIPS, AT FRIENDS' PARTIES, THERE THEY WERE, SALOMÃO AND SALOMÉ, IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEM THEY SAID THEY WERE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE OF LOVERS.

THEY EVEN KNEW WHAT THEY WERE THINKING, THEY WEREN'T JUST TWINS, THEY WERE KINDRED SPIRITS, ONE DAY HE HEARD HIS MOTHER TALKING IN A FLIRTATIOUS TONE ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE ON THE PHONE, THEY WENT TO THE BEDROOM AND FOR THOUGHTS THEY TALKED ABOUT THE MOTHER'S BEHAVIOR, WITHOUT NEEDING TO SPEAK A WORD.
