First lines

Por la plaza principal de México atravesaba, triste y pensativo, un joven como de veinticinco años, elegantemente vestido y embozado en una capa corta de terciopelo negro.

Cruzó por el puente que estaba frente a las casas de Cabildo, y se dirigió a la calle de las Canoas, como se llamaban entonces las que ahora se conocen con el de calles del Coliseo.
