Such a sound could make not the slightest impression upon Eudaldo's sound sleep, but her reasoning was good, as well as ingenious. After waiting a few moments, she knocked again, more loudly. Dolores held her breath in the silence that followed. Presently a door was opened, and a woman's voice was heard, low but sharp. "Eudaldo, Eudaldo! Some one is knocking at the front door!"
They reached the door, and as she withdrew her hand from his arm, he took it and ceremoniously kissed her gloved fingers, while she smiled graciously. Then he knocked three times, and presently the shuffling of Eudaldo's slippers was heard within, and the old servant opened sleepily.
The woman, who was the drudge and had been cleaning the kitchen, was probably used to Eudaldo's manner of expressing himself, for she only laughed. "Wine makes men sleep, but it does not knock at doors," she answered. "Some one has knocked twice. You had better go and open the door." A shuffling sound and a deep yawn announced that Eudaldo was getting out of his chair.
