He had, fortunately, a spare horse, which I mounted; and I confess that I felt my spirits rise wonderfully when I found myself in the saddle, after so many days' journeying on foot. We rode on until we reached the borders of a wood which would serve to shelter our camp-fires.
Then, with her arm around Isabel, and the girl's head on his shoulder, they read together Jack's loving words: "Mi madre, mi madre, you have Juan's heart in your heart. Believe me, that in all this trouble I sorrow only for you. When victory is won I shall fly to you. Other young men have other loves; I have only you, sweet mother.
