Pedro Páramo, pages 96 - 108 Summary

The revolutionaries come to Media Luna. Don Pedro feeds them a meal, and then he asks what they want. The men don't seem to know what their mission is. One of them says they're sick of the corrupt men who run the government and own the land, but they seem to be aimless, revolting for the sake of revolution.

Don Pedro promises the men money and enough men to double their army's size, and the revolutionaries leave. Don Pedro has sent for El Tilcuate, a mercenary.

He gives El Tilcuate a ranch in payment, but the mercenary is more interested in the fight.
