"Thanks, thanks," said Clementina drily, without pausing.
As they reached the door opening on the stairs, just as he was about to open it, Raimundo caught sight of his sister's little head peeping inquisitively into the passage.
"Come here, Aurelia," said he.
But the girl paid no heed and hastily withdrew.
"Aurelia, Aurelia!"
Very much against her will she came out into the anteroom, and approached smiling and as red as a cherry.
"This is the lady of whom I spoke to you as being so like mamma."
Aurelia looked at her not knowing what to say, still smiling and blushing.
"Do you not think her very like?"
"I do not see it," replied his sister after a moment's hesitation.
