They replied that they were unable to attend, being busy with the burial of their defunct president. Would he postpone the election to another day ? Incensed at this answer, the Dominican sent word that if they did not come once he should call in the women and put them in the place of the men. The men, being seated sad and mournful behind their barred doors, and in fear of some fresh attack, put him off. In their default the devout and energetic father, without any concern for the dead or for the existing confusion, attempted to collect the women. These replied through their closed doors that the father must be mad ; let him devote himself to praying for the soul of the defunct and imploring God to deliver them from the peril they were in. - [Previous: 338.16.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.5) - [Next: 338.16.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.7) - [Up: 338.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.6) · Pramāṇa
