"The brigadier lives up the street, and Don Pepe is going down in the direction of the senora's house." "Of the senora's house!" exclaimed Caballuco, quickening his steps. But they were mistaken. The man whom they were watching passed the house of Polentinos and walked on. "Do you see that you were wrong?" "Senor Ramos, let us follow him!" said Remedios, pressing the Centaur's hand convulsively. "I have a foreboding." "We shall soon know, for we are near the end of the town." "Don't go so fast--he may see us. It is as I thought, Senor Ramos; he is going into the garden by the condemned door." "Senora, you have lost your senses!" "Come on, and we shall see." The night was dark, and the watchers could not tell precisely at what point Senor de Rey had entered; but a grating of rusty hinges which they heard, and the circumstance of not meeting the young man in the whole length of the garden wall, convinced them that he had entered the garden. Caballuco looked at his companion with stupefaction. He seemed bewildered. |
