Zorro Saves A Friend - Heavier

Bernardo was there. Don Diego divested himself of his embroidered dressing gown and his other apparel, and dressed as Señor Zorro always dressed, putting on thin black gloves and his black mask as a finishing touch. From a peg in the wall he took down the sword of Zorro, an excellent blade, but a bit heavier than a rapier, and buckled it on.

Then Bernardo went ahead through a narrow passage and opened a door, and Señor Zorro – Don Diego Vega no longer – passed forth into the night, emerging near the well in the patio.
