"I should think so, excellency; at that price a man would be a fool to refuse."

"Where must I take the señorita?"
"Bring her to this house, for she shall not set foot in the convent again."
"Very good; when shall I start, general?"
"At once, if it be possible."
"In twenty minutes I shall have left the house."
