"No, indeed," replied the servant; "they all preserve a marvellous silence on the road, for not a sound is to be heard among them except the poor lady's sighs and sobs, which make us pity her; and we feel sure that wherever it is she is going, it is against her will, and as far as one can judge from her dress she is a nun or, what is more likely, about to become one; and perhaps it is because taking the vows is not of her own free will, that she is so unhappy as she seems to be."
-No, por cierto -respondió el mozo-, porque todos caminan con tanto silencio que es maravilla, porque no se oye entre ellos otra cosa que los suspiros y sollozos de la pobre señora, que nos mueven a lástima; y sin duda tenemos creído que ella va forzada dondequiera que va, y, según se puede colegir por su hábito, ella es monja, o va a serlo, que es lo más cierto, y quizá porque no le debe de nacer de voluntad el monjío, va triste, como parece.
