They reached the spot where Claudia met him, but found nothing there save freshly spilt blood; looking all round, however, they descried some people on the slope of a hill above them, and concluded, as indeed it proved to be, that it was Don Vicente, whom either dead or alive his servants were removing to attend to his wounds or to bury him. They made haste to overtake them, which, as the party moved slowly, they were able to do with ease.
Llegaron al lugar donde le encontró Claudia, y no hallaron en él sino recién derramada sangre; pero, tendiendo la vista por todas partes, descubrieron por un recuesto arriba alguna gente, y diéronse a entender, como era la verdad, que debía ser don Vicente, a quien sus criados, o muerto o vivo, llevaban, o para curarle, o para enterrarle; diéronse priesa a alcanzarlos, que, como iban de espacio, con facilidad lo hicieron.
