The Spanish governor, Don Francisco de Pardo, having but a weak garrison and little artillery, decided upon releasing the waters and inundating the country; but certain heights remained which could not be covered, and from here the French artillery started to storm the ramparts and the fort.
"I entrust them to you, Rafaelito; be careful, now." And Rafaelito assumed an expression of protest, as if he were shocked that anyone could doubt his skill. There was no danger with him. "Aren't you coming, Don Mariano? Lay down your brushes for a while. We're only going to the Pardo." The painter declined; he had a great deal to do. He knew what it was, and he did not like to go so fast.
T. H. Pardo de Tavera, all of whom were men of exceptional ability and had rendered distinguished service in the establishment of peace and order. Except for the addition of one more Filipino on July 6, 1908, the organization of the commission has remained unchanged up to the present time, although there have been numerous changes in its personnel.
Harlan saw in Haydon's eyes a furtive, stealthy gleam as of cupidity glossed over with a pretense of frank curiosity. He sensed greed in Haydon's gaze, and knowledge of a mysterious quality. Haydon knew something about Lane Morgan's errand to Pardo; he knew why the man had started for Pardo, and what had been on his person at the time of his death.
Of the poesie there is then a new upspringing, a new efflorescence, and we get by the side of the Venus and Adonis, the Diana and Actæon, the Diana and Calisto, the Rape of Europa, such pieces of a more exquisite and penetrating poetry as the Venere del Pardo of Paris, and the Nymph and Shepherd of Vienna.
They agreed to remain close together, out of sight of the enemy, but where they could watch the Indian forces. If Anastacio fell they would flee at once.

When the two ceremonies take place at the same time it must be in the morning, because the bride and bridegroom partake of the Holy Sacrament fasting. From the description of a boda in Galicia, in one of Pardo Bazan's novels, it would seem that the bride there wears white, even at the church.
Accordin' to that, I reckon you'd be right glad to see him comin' home from Pardo where's he been to have that gold assayed?" "He ought to be here before dark, Linton. And I shall be glad to see him." "Hopin' the gold will assay good, I reckon?" "Hoping he will come back, safe." "You don't care about the gold?" "No." "Only about him?" "Yes, Linton," she said, gently.
What embassyings, bargainings, bargain-breakings; what galloping of estafettes; acres of diplomatic paper, now fallen to the spiders, who always privately were the real owners! Not in the Treaty of Utrecht, not in the Congresses of Cambray, of Soissons, Convention of Pardo, by Ripperda, Horace Walpole, or the wagging of wigs, could this matter be settled at all.
He drew out a small buckskin bag and passed it to Harlan, who took it and held it loosely in his hands, not taking his gaze from Morgan. "Keep a-goin'," suggested Harlan. "Interested, eh?" grinned Morgan; "I knowed you'd be. Well, here I am I didn't get to the assay office at Pardo; an' I'll never get there now."
