text_original: We crossed the square, and with the courtesy of their race the people made way for us in the press; and we were no sooner placed ere the procession came out of the church. Flaming soldiers of the Governor's guard, two by two; sober, sandalled friars in brown, priests in their robes,  another batch of color; crosses shimmering, tapers emerging from the cool darkness within to pale by the light of day.
