[CHAPTER XXXV]
OF THE SORROWS WHICH THE COWARDLY DON SUERO CAUSED HIS SISTER
Just at the time that Guillen left the Castle of Carrion to proceed to the seat of war in Portugal, Bellido Dolfos entered it. The arrival of the traitor was announced to Don Suero, and satisfaction shone in the eyes of the count, who hastened to receive Bellido, for he doubted not but that he brought him some important intelligence, having returned so soon to the castle.
"What tidings do you bring me? Speak at once," he asked of the new-comer, even without waiting for his salutation.
"I bring you very important news, sir count."
"Speak, speak!"
"Can any person hear us?"
"No one, Bellido."
"Notwithstanding, it is just as well to shut the door."
And Bellido closed the door of the apartment, and then returned and seated himself at the side of the count.
