Soul of Joseph Saltonstall!" ejaculated the widow, lifting her shoulders and her eyes together, "thou hast much to account for." Two weeks later she again astonished her daughter. "Why dost thou not join the party that drives over to see the wonders of Aladdin's Palace to-day? It would seem more proper that thou shouldst accompany thy guests than Raymond and Amita."
We leave a picturesque tramp at the edge of a grave; we pass over six weeks and a Bridge of Sighs, and hey, presto! we find a private secretary in a conservatory! This is quite the regular Aladdin business." "You may laugh," said Maruja, who had recovered her spirits, "but if you were really clever you'd find out what it all means. Don't you see that Amita is dying of curiosity?"
The father's brother is called 'patruus, in Greek 'patros', the mother's brother avunculus, in Greek specifically 'matros, though the term theios is used indifferently to indicate either. The father's sister is called 'amita, the mother's 'matertera'; both go in Greek by the name 'theia, or, with some, 'tithis.
There is enough of the old Spanish jealousy in the blood to make even the gentle Amita never forgive his momentary defection." Something in his manner made the Scotchman think that Raymond spoke from baleful experience.
Raymond's voice, when he addressed Amita, was low and earnest; not from any significance of matter, but from its frank confidential quality. "They are discussing the new railroad project, and your relations are all opposed to it; to-morrow they will each apply privately to Aladdin for the privilege of subscribing."
She reached her party, displaying her torn flounce as the cause of her delay, and there was a slight quickness in her breathing and her speech which was attributed to the same grave reason. "But, only listen," said Amita, "we've got it all out of the butler and the grooms. It's such a romantic story!" "What is?" said Maruja, suddenly. "Why, the private tramp's."
There are no sons; she is the sole heiress of the house and estate though, according to the native custom, her sisters will be separately portioned from the other property, which is very large." "Then the Captain might still make a pretty penny on Amita," said the Scotchman. "If he did not risk and lose it all on Maruja.
"You are restless to-night, Maruja," said Amita, shyly endeavoring to make a show of keeping up with her sister's boyish stride, in spite of Raymond's reluctance. "You are paying for your wakefulness to-day." The same idea passed through the minds of both men. She was missing the excitement of Captain Carroll's presence.
In the music, in the flowers, in the moonlight, one says everything; in the morning one has breakfast when one is not asked to have councils of war with captains and commandantes. You would speak of my sister, Captain Car-roll go on. Dona Amita Carroll sounds very, very pretty. I shall not object." She held out both her hands to him, threw her head back, and smiled.
José Sardaneta undertook the undermining of the rich mine of Santa Amita in 1740, and that afterward the rich product of the lower levels of the Santa Amita are included in this immense sum.
