### 32

The avenue leads to an enclosed courtyard that has two exits, both of which are sealed off by chained iron gates. Suddenly you hear the sounds of the city watch drawing closer; they are sure to enter the courtyard within a few minutes at most.

If you wish to evade the city watch by hiding in one of the houses that border upon this courtyard, turn to 210.

If you decide to stand and face them, turn to 52.
