She had no doubt that Concepcion Montfort was sorry to lose her; the larger part of her father's fortune had been settled upon her, Rita, before his second marriage. "The señora also has made diligent search for you, my child!" said Don Miguel.
The destruction was, however, not so complete as in the case of Concepcion, and some few of the better-conditioned houses are still inhabited by very poor people, though the walls have great cracks in them from top to bottom, and they are otherwise in a deplorable state.
Doña Concepción stood at the door and greeted them with a forgiving smile. Pilar followed some moments later. There was something more than coldness in her eyes as she bent her head to the Lady Superior, who drew a quick breath. "She feels that she has been humiliated, and she will not forgive," thought Doña Concepción. "Ay de mi! And she may need my advice and protection.
'The carriage is ordered for eight o'clock, continued the practical Concepcion, rolling a cigarette, which he placed behind his ear where a clerk would carry his pen. 'Those who take the road when the night-birds come abroad have something to hide. We will see what they have in their carriage, eh? The horses are hired for the journey to Galvez, where a relay is doubtless ordered.
He was quite without money and he went to America." "To New York?" inquired Bettina. "I am not sure. The town is called Concepcion." "That is not in the United States," Betty answered disdainfully. "It is in Chili." She dragged her atlas towards her and found the place. "See," she said. "It is thousands of miles from New York." Her companion was a near-sighted, rather slow girl.

'And I, said Concepcion, turning round with a brush in his hand, 'should like a moment's conversation with Senor Larralde. 'Ah! 'Yes, Excellency, he is in this matter too. But the Senor Larralde is so modest so modest! He always remains in the background. In the tents of Kedar men sleep as sound as those who lie on soft pillows, and Conyngham was late astir the next morning.
He appeared as usual to be at peace with all men, and returned his guide's grave salutation with an easy nod. 'These the horses? he inquired. Concepcion Vara spread out his hands.
