And in the midst of this there rolled up suddenly a voice crying, as from the bowels of the earth, "Hola! Hola!
She lowered her head; she opened the book; she adjusted it carefully to the light streaming over her shoulder; she even summoned a faint smile of interest as though her thoughts were a thousand miles from this petty annoyance and back in the theme of the story.
