"The likeness is extraordinary," answered Ani, "and yet he is of quite humble birth. Who was his mother?" "Our gate-keeper's daughter, a plain, pious, simple creature." "Now I will return to the banqueting hall," said Ani, after a fete moments of reflection. "But I must ask you one thing more. I spoke to you of a secret that will put Paaker into our power.
The beauty glanced at him, blushed, and returned the fair-haired boy's salutation with a slight bend of the head. The gate-keeper's little daughter was a pretty child, and Ulrich had no fear of doing what Sanchez ventured. On the third day he again accompanied him to the balcony, and this time, after silently calling upon the "word," pressed his hand upon his heart, just as Carmen looked at him.

Neither these workmen nor their overseers had paid any heed to the barking of the dogs and the loud talking which had for some little time been audible in the vicinity of the gate-keeper's lodge; for a special rate of payment had been promised to the laborers and their foremen if they should have finished a set piece of the new pavement by a certain hour, to the satisfaction of the architect.
For several minutes the two girls were silent, then Selene asked: "Did the gate-keeper's son who accompanied you also hear of the disaster that had befallen me?
I went no farther than the entrance of your dwelling, and the kind gate-keeper's wife told me at once that I should find neither your father nor your sister, and that your slave-woman was gone out to buy cakes for the children." "To buy them!" exclaimed Selene in astonishment.
