Jose Arcadio's return

In light of the recient events of the church, I thought that it was quite odd that when Jose Arcadio returns from Rome, he opens up the house to boys.  He slowly has a tighter and tighter relationship with them, and eventually is even bathing with them.  While I hope that this is the full extent of their relationship, I think that it is very possible that it is not.

It seems that even GGM has his tabu. The nude debauchery and champagne baths, as well as the rancor with which these boys are left certainly suggest that things went much farther than that. That said, García Márquez, who is not shy about giving us the gory details, leaves this up to the reader´s immagination.
