"Two months, they have given that scoundrel Pacheco to make his preparations." "Yes--" "So that Juanita must make her choice at once." "They go to vespers in the Cathedral," said Marcos.

"It is dusk by that time.

They cross the Calle de la Dormitaleria and go through the two patios into the cloisters and enter the Cathedral by the cloister door.
If Juanita could forget something and go back for it, I could see her for a few minutes in the cloisters which are always deserted in winter." "Yes," said Sarrion, "but how ?" "Sor Teresa must do it," said Marcos.

"You must see her.

They cannot prevent you from seeing your own sister." "But will she do it ?" "Yes," answered Marcos without any hesitation at all.
"I shall try to see Juanita also," said Sarrion, throwing his cloak round his shoulders twice so that its bright lining was seen at the back, hanging from the left shoulder.
