Ruth approached the armorer, clung to his side, and pleaded: "Hear him, don't send him away so; he is your child, and if anger just now overpowered him...." "Spanish custom to abuse women!" cried Adam. "I have no son Navarrete, or whatever the murderous monster calls himself.
And when the exercises were ended, and the men secured in their cells, on a given signal, the keeper of the key would open for our release.
