CHAPTER I
THE PRISONERS
A boy and a man sat in a room of a stone house in the ancient City of
Mexico, capital in turn of Aztec, Spaniard and Mexican. They could see
through the narrow windows masses of low buildings and tile roofs, and
beyond, the swelling shape of great mountains, standing clear against
the blue sky. But they had looked upon them so often that the mind took
no note of the luminous spectacle. The cry of a water-seller or the
occasional jingle of a spur came from the street below, but these, too,
were familiar sounds, and they were no longer regarded.
