"Ah, all the better; then she has quite recovered."
"So perfectly," said the sister porter, "that she is travelling at this moment."
"What! the Señora Maria de Soto-Mayor travelling?"
"You know her name?"
"Of course; for I was formerly butler to the general her father."
"Well, then, it was through an order of the general that Sister Maria left this morning for the country house which he possesses a few leagues from here."
"Well, then, sister, good-bye, and I hope we shall meet again soon," Crevel exclaimed, hurrying this time to reach the gate.
"¡Anda Ve con Dios!" said the sister, surprised at this hurried movement.
"Thanks, thanks."
Crevel was already in the street.
