From the text:

It came to the priest walking in his garden, and it put a thoughtful look in his eyes and a memory of certain repairs necessary to the church. He wondered what the pearl would be worth.

The news came to the doctor where he sat with a woman whose illness was age, though neither she nor the doctor would admit it. And when it was
made plain who Kino was, the doctor grew stern and judicious at the same time. "He is a client of mine," the doctor said. "I am treating his child for a scorpion sting." And the doctor's eyes rolled up a little in their fat hammocks and he thought of Paris.

The news came early to the beggars in front of the church, and it made
them giggle a little with pleasure, for they knew that there is no
almsgiver in the world like a poor man who is suddenly lucky.
