The Priest Visits Kino
The priest visits Kino's brush house. He blesses Kino, reminding him of his namesake, and advises him to give thanks to God. Juana tells the priest they will now be married in the church. The priest leaves, but Kino hears the Song of Evil faintly, and becomes suspicious of everyone. The visit underscores the church's interest in Kino's newfound wealth.
