The window-sash rested on a little door; she opened it, and stepped on the balcony.

Springer gave the necessary order in Spanish, and it was sullenly obeyed.
She had not realized that she had lain where she had fainted, at the foot of the bed. "Now take some tea," the controlling will ordered; "you'll feel better; and a bit of dry toast.
