After all were located, the woman barred the door and we were soon asleep.
All rose early.

Not only did we wish to make an early start, but the boys, too, were to make a journey.

Our friends had agreed to make us some coffee and _tortillas_.

We had made our preparations for starting and were waiting for our breakfast, when a shriveled and wrinkled old woman tottered up to beg the strangers to visit her sick son and prescribe some _remedio_.

On our consenting to go with her, she caught up a stick of fat pine, lighted it in the fire, and with this blazing torch to light the way, preceded us to her house.
