He is around the age of 30 but looks younger because he had the waist of a bullfighter which means his waist is small. When he arrived He sees Angela with her mom carrying baskets of flowers.

Quote
"It was Angela who didn't want to marry him. He seemed too much of a man for me, she told me" (Marquez 34).

Reaction
I think that Angela said this because she saw Bayardo, a man of old tradition and high class. He dresses fancy and act fancy. I also think that she thinks she is too young for him. He is around the ages of 30 and Angela is younger. I agree with what she says. I think Bayardo is too much for her.
