And, at the corners of roads, the old crosses appear, ever with their similar inscriptions: "O crux, ave, spes unica!" Amezqueta, at the last twilight.

Arrochkoa is impatient to go into the house of the sisters, vexed at arriving so late; he fears that the door may not be opened to them. Ramuntcho, silent, lets him act.
Her house was built on the very edge of the sea and there were some of the rooms under which the sea flowed. Here it was that Spes and Thorsteinn always sat. There was a small trap-door in the floor, known to no one but these two, and it was kept open in case of its being wanted in a hurry.
Oh! which of us can now diffide That God will us defend, Who hath been always on our side, And will be to the end. Spes confisa Deo nunquam confusa recedet.

Thorsteinn and Spes divided their share, giving some to the church for the good of their souls and keeping some for themselves. So they set off for Rome, bearing the good wishes of many with them. They travelled then the whole way to Rome, and appeared before him who was appointed to hear confessions.
But the ex-trooper, now Commandant, knew that a day of reckoning was coming, and kept a sharp lookout. When the hostile ship Spes was reported steering in from the sea, the flag of Sweden flew from the peak of Hammershus, and nothing on land betrayed that there had been a change.
Even in advanced age, the man of genius dwells on the praise he caught in his youth from veteran genius, which, like the aloe, will flower at the end of life.
