Were priests supposed to have children? Frank guessed it depended on the religion, and decided maybe not to think about it too much right now.
"That's good... that your father was able to teach you. I learned some Spanish in school, and later on helping James with his homework. Plus there are people in Ashfield who speak Spanish, so I could practice sometimes." Luis Velasquez, who worked on Frank's first job with him, had taught him some words you didn't learn in school. But he wasn't about to mention that to Alice.
"My father died when I was young... that's why I dropped out of school to get a job."
Frank once again regretted what he said after he said it. The song would be over soon and he didn't want the dance to end on a sad note with him talking about losing his father and dropping out of school.
