Question: (CNN)"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd," wrote Miguel de Cervantes, the Shakespeare of Spain. And the quest to find his remains has sometimes seemed both, even (dare one say it) quixotic in a time of recession. But forensic scientists have persevered, and appear to have triumphed. 

Almost 400 years after Cervantes' death, a team led by Francisco Etxeberria announced Tuesday that they were confident they had found Cervantes' coffin in the crypt of the Convent of the Barefoot Trinitarians in the Barrio de Las Letras (Literary Quarter) in Madrid. Historical records indicated Cervantes had been buried there, but the convent had been substantially rebuilt since. (Etxeberria, incidentally, performed the autopsy on former Chilean President Gen. Salvador Allende, confirming he had committed suicide.) 

At a news conference in Madrid on Tuesday, Etxeberria said that while there was no mathematical proof or DNA test available to completely verify the findings, there were "many coincidences and no discrepancies" in the examination of "Osario 32," a common grave in the crypt that contained the remains of 16 people. 

"We have Cervantes, represented in some form in this group of bones that are unfortunately very degraded and very fragmented," Etxeberria told national television. 

The search for Cervantes' coffin -- using radar -- began last year, funded by the Madrid City Council. It first mapped more than 30 burial cavities in the walls and nearly 5 meters beneath the floor of the church. Mass spectrometry dated fragments of wood and cloth found in these cavities to the 17th century, an encouraging but far from conclusive development.  1. Whose body is Franciso Etxeberria searching for?
2. What association is Miguel de Cervantes given?
3. When did the search for his remains begin?
4. When did Exteberria confirm they had succeeded?
5. Where was the coffin found?
6. In what city?
7. Was this confirmed by historical documents?
8. What condition did he say his findings were in?
9. Who did he announce this to?
10. Could the bones be conclusively identified via DNA testing?
11. How many other persons' remains were found in the same area?
12. How many burial chambers were in the church, according to initial radar testing?
13. How deep under the ground were they?
14. Was spectometry used to determine the dates of artifacts in the area?
15. What date did the testing suggest?
16. Could this conclusively confirm Cervantes' presence?
17. Who funded the search?
18. What artifacts were examined and dated?
19. What other remains has Exteberria examined?

Question: CHAPTER XIV 

RAISING THE TENT 

Toby went into the house, feeling rather uneasy because he had not been called; but when Aunt Olive told him that Abner had aroused from his slumber but twice, and then only for a moment, he had no idea of being worried about his friend, although he did think it a little singular he should sleep so long. 

That evening Dr. Abbot called again, although he had been there once before that day; and when Toby saw how troubled Uncle Daniel and Aunt Olive looked after he had gone, he asked; 

"You don't think Abner is goin' to be sick, do you?" 

Uncle Daniel made no reply, and Aunt Olive did not speak for some moments; then she said: 

"I am afraid he stayed out too long this morning; but the doctor hopes he will be better to-morrow." 

If Toby had not been so busily engaged planning for Abner to see the work next day, he would have noticed that the sick boy was not left alone for more than a few moments at a time, and that both Uncle Daniel and Aunt Olive seemed to have agreed not to say anything discouraging to him regarding his friend's illness. 

When he went to bed that night, he fancied Uncle Daniel's voice trembled, as he said: 

"May the good God guard and spare you to me, Toby, boy;" but he gave no particular thought to the matter, and the sandman threw dust in his eyes very soon after his head was on the pillow.  1. Which doctor came over?
2. Had he been there before?
3. Who was possibly sick?
4. How many times had he woken up?

7. Why?
8. Was anyone's voice trembling?
9. Did Toby go to sleep pretty quickly?
10. When did the doctor think Abner might be better?
11. Had Abner been sleeping for a long time?
12. What part of the day was it when the doctor came over again?
13. What was Toby planning?
14. What did the uncle and aunt look like after Dr. Abbot left?
15. What did they say when Toby asked them if Abner was going to be sick?
16. What did they agree not to say to Toby about his friend's sickness?
