"Are you going to leave me in the dark?
Are you afraid to go without a light ?" "I might knock my head against the beams, for I have forgotten where the cape was put." "You had it in your hands only three days ago.

You are afraid in the dark, Julio.

Take the lamp." The servant soon returned.

He had the Spanish cape around his shoulders.
It was a wide cloak, in which the whole body might be wrapped; and when the hood was drawn down it entirely concealed the face.
The master and servant descended the staircase in silence and approached the little garden-gate.
