Though never her close friend, Don Francisco had always been cordial.

She was under Don Francisco's protection now, but what would happen later?

She could hear Don Francisco's footsteps now, he was leading someone with him.

And then, Don Francisco has been so kind to me!

She could not help wondering, how would Don Francisco take the news?

Don Francisco's voice sounded heavy and old, suddenly; as if every word he spoke was an effort.

"It's not easy explaining it in words you would understand, Don Francisco."
