It showed him also two women one young and very beautiful, the other wizened and monkey-like, both terrified and speechless. They were Don Fernandez' daughter, Rafaela, and her duenna or chaperone, Donna Ana. "Quiet," hissed Jack in Spanish, waving his weapon threateningly. He listened with strained attention to sounds from outside.
Thus, for example, five chapters, one of which is the second, begin with the letters A.L.M., which some imagine to stand for Allah latîf magîd "God is gracious and to be glorified" or, Ana li minni "to me and from me" belongs all perfection, and proceeds all good; or else for Ana Allah âlam "I am the most wise God" taking the first letter to mark the beginning of the first word, the second the middle of the second word, and the third the last of the third word: or for "Allah, Gabriel, Mohammed," the author, revealer, and preacher of the "Koran."
He took great pains in correcting my Spanish, and supplying me with colloquial phrases, and common terms and exclamations in speaking. He lent me a file of late newspapers from the city of Mexico, which were full of triumphal receptions of Santa Ana, who had just returned from Tampico after a victory, and with the preparations for his expedition against the Texans.
For he is big that Filon, he is strong; and me, M'siu, I am as God made me. So always, where I go on the range there is Filon; if I think to change my trail, he change also his. If I have good luck, Filon has better. If to him is the misfortune ah you shall hear. One year Gabriel Lausanne tell me that Filon is lose all his lambs in the Santa Ana.

He stood helpless, while the duenna alternately glared at him and patted her young charge on the back, muttering soft words of comfort to her meanwhile. Quickly as the shower came, however, it disappeared. Rafaela pushed Donna Ana aside impatiently and looked at Jack, smiling through her tears. "Well, sir," she said, demurely, "that did not succeed. What do you intend to do with your prisoners?"
"Bow our heads and fall with them, I suppose, Ana, since honour will not suffer us to desert them." "Even if they be false, Prince?" "I do not think that they are false, Ana, though mayhap they be less true. At least they are the gods of the Egyptians and we are Egyptians."
