The girl who had looked over the heads of the officers, letting her gaze rest on the holy walls of the church, alone looked coldly unconcerned, and encountered steadily the sombre eyes of the convent's mistress. "Was thy lover in the road below, Pilar?" asked Doña Concepción, with what meaning five of the girls could not divine.
