Conversation in the Cathedral
“Ambrosio was already at the streetcar stop when she got there and he squeezed her hand so hard that Amalia gave a little cry.

The streetcar was half empty when it arrived and, before she sat down, Ambrosio took out his handkerchief and dusted off the seat. The window seat for the queen..., he said, bowing deeply.
