Go in, woman, go in, " said the aunt, "it is your home. You had to come back some time or other." And she pushed her till she was through the door. Once inside the sitting room her tears ceased, she looked round with astonishment, no doubt surprised at finding herself there. Her eyes examined everything with a sort of stupefaction, as though marveling that everything should be in the same place as five years before, and with an exactitude that made her doubt if such a long time had really elapsed. Nothing seemed changed in that little world under the shadow of the Cathedral. She only, who had left it in the bloom of her youth, now returned aged and broken. There was a long silence between the three people. "Your room, Sagrario, " said Gabriel at last gently, "is the same as when you left it. Go in and do not come out till I call you. Be calm and do not cry, trust me. You do not know me well, but the aunt will have told you that I am interested in your fate. Your father will soon be coming, hide yourself and be silent. I repeat it again, do not come out till I call you.
