The two might be Bravi, as he said, but they were friends, and in such a case as this they were the very friends the young couple needed. The three entered the inner aisle to avoid all possibility of being seen by Don Alberto, and hastened towards the main door. Though Ortensia was not timid, her heart beat a little faster when she thought of the danger from which she was escaping.
