My Irish criado, who used to take uncommon liberties with my property, having been two or three days in the rear, with the baggage, at the time of the battle of Salamanca, took upon himself to exchange my baggage-horse for another; and his apology for so doing was, that the one he had got was twice as big as the one he gave!
I beg to add my personal thanks for the interesting communications with which you have favoured me, of which I shall avail myself in order to accomplish the objects desired to be effected. Be assured of the particular esteem and high consideration with which I am, De V. Exa. Attento venerador e criado, JOZE BONIFACIO DE ANDRADA E SILVA.
She rose, and the criado hurried out, satisfied that she would follow. But Iris had no wish to meet San Benavides. If she were seen with him in the dark patèo at this late hour, fuel would be added to the fire of Carmela's foolish spite. She was aware of Carmela's covert glance watching her from the other end of the long room. What was to be done? Why not send Carmela in her stead?
DON PEDRO DE LARA DOÑA MATILDE, su hija DON EDUARDO DE CONTRERAS BRUNO, criado de DON PEDRO LA MARQUESA EL CASERO LA VECINA La escena pasa en Madrid; los tres primeros actos en una sala bien amueblada, aunque algo a la antigua, de la casa que habita D. Pedro, y el último acto en un cuarto muy miserable y en donde habrá sólo una mala cama, dos o tres sillas de paja vieja, un brasero de hierro etc.
Vuelve entonces su esposo, y vienen impacientes papá y el criado honrado; descúbrese la ficción, y se van todos muy convencidos de que para quererse mucho es indispensable por lo menos haber comido algo; verdad indisputable de todos los tiempos y países, y que no bastarán a echar por tierra todas las pasiones reunidas que pueden agitar a un mísero mortal.
A criado, a nondescript man-servant attached to the household, stooped over Iris and whispered something. She gathered that she was wanted in the patèo, or court-yard, which, owing to the construction of the house, stood on one side instead of in front, where the lawn usurped its usual position. "Who is it?" she asked. The voice sank even lower. "Colonel San Benavides, Senhora."
