First part done. This revolutionary Englishman trying to find the commune has turned out to be pretty depraved. He got into two separate fights with the authorities that had left him seriously wounded and he assaulted a woman afterwards. There have been a few more stories of people who joined the Counselor, including a deformed man almost burned alive. There was a big shootout between the military and the followers.

The Counselor is said to be a saint, passing from town to town in southern Brazil preaching about the coming end times. When the monarchy is replaced by the Republic he claims the Republic is the devil’s institution and he leads his flock to found a town of worship in the mountains. There are a few asides about a few of his followers, including a runaway slave and a wandering woman that used to live in a cave.
