The Velvet Glove

CHAPTER I
12/18

In these narrow streets he met no one.

On the Paseo there are several old inns, notably the Posada de los Reyes, used by muleteers and other gentlemen of the road, who arise and start at any hour of the twenty-four and in summer travel as much by night as by day.
At the corner, where the bridge abuts on the Paseo, there is always a watchman at night, while by day there is a guard.

It is the busiest and dustiest corner in the city.
Francisco de Mogente crossed a wide street, and again sought a dark alley.

He passed by the corner of the Cathedral of the Pillar, and went towards the other and infinitely grander Cathedral of the Seo.

Beyond this, by the riverside, is the palace of the archbishop.
