Two months went by and the local craftsman had finished the House ordered by Peter. It had a living room with an area for Peter’s desk, a dining room, a big bedroom plus two small bedrooms. Behind the dining room was the kitchen and off the kitchen, two bedrooms for the servants plus a storage room. It was furnished with furniture off Spanish ships, sunk by Peter and his crew.  While Curacao was Dutch inhabited, there were some Spaniards who had been captured and allowed to live. They worked for the Dutch and one of them was a Spanish Padre who had been captured. He was allowed to tend to his Spanish Flock.<br/><br/>Peter had the Padre brought to him by the Dutch Minister who was to marry Peter and Carlota. Peter told the Padre, that he wanted him to hear the women’s confessions and to put his bride to be at ease. “Padre, you may also come twice a month to hear their confessions and to minister to them, but explain to her that she will attend church with me, after all it is the same God.” Peter thanked the minister and told him, two weeks till the marriage.<br/><br/>On board the ship, Peter took the Padre to his cabin and went to the door that adjoined the cabins. He knocked and said through the door, “All four of you, please come in my cabin. While they waited Peter told the Padre, “You can hear their confessions, here one at a time.” “I shall be on deck  when you are done.” “Tell her it is in two weeks and next week you may see her three times, one the day before the wedding which is on Saturday.” With that, Peter turned to await the women.
