It was only after he had learned the quality of his fellow-travellers that the young lady was the daughter of the opulent proprietor, Don Augustin Pena it was only on ascertaining this that Tiburcio perceived the folly of his aspirations, and the distance that lay between him and the object of his love.

I have heard of her her dowry should be a million if report speaks true; but what folly it would be for me to pretend " "Bah!" interrupted the Spaniard. "It is a fortress that well besieged may capitulate like any other." "It is said that the daughter of Pena is pretty." "Beautiful." "You know her, then?" said the Senator, regarding his companion with an astonished look.

No joy or sorrow dies barren of progeny, which for ever generated and generating, weaves the chain that make our life: Un dia llama a otro dia y ass i llama, y encadena llanto a llanto, y pena a pena. Truly disappointment is the guardian deity of human life; she sits at the threshold of unborn time, and marshals the events as they come forth.

She was only eight years old, but had the precocity of solitary children much attended to by their elders: 'Feniton: August 24, 1854. 'My darling Pena, I am going to tell you a secret, and I am afraid it is one which will make you feel very sorry for a little while. Do you remember my talking to you one day after breakfast rather gravely, and telling you afterwards it was my first sermon to you?

Caesar was listening to Uncle Chinaman with joy, when he saw two friars passing along the road below the balcony. "They are from the monastery of la Pena, I suppose," he said. The Chinaman looked out and replied: "One of them is the prior, Father Lafuerza. The other is an intriguing young chap who has been here only a short while." "Man, I have to see them," said Caesar.

The original lines of this once beautiful Mission are almost entirely changed but like all its sister missions it still retains much of its dear old atmosphere, and can boast of the tomb of Father Magin Catala who died there in 1836 "in the odor of sanctity." Mission Santa Clara was founded by Father Tomas de la Pena y Saradia; and its history is fascinating and romantic.

"You must know, then, and I may without indiscretion inform you," continued he, "that Don Augustin Pena, whom God preserve, was the intimate friend of Senor Arechiza, and that he has had no news of him for six months past, which would be natural enough if he has been massacred by the Indians with all the rest.

It is, I suppose, natural that an old bachelor should have pleasure in young things about him, ready-made substitutes for children of his own. I do like them. With English children, save and except Pena, I never was at my ease, partly I think from a worse than foolish self- consciousness about so ugly a fellow not being acceptable to children.

I thought that perhaps my small influence and my diminutive knowledge of Majorcan law the Roman law, in point of fact might be of some use to you." "Thank you," she answered; "I think we settled everything before we left the island, although we did not see Senor Pena, your lawyer. I the Casa d'Erraha belongs to you!" she added, suddenly descending to feminine reiteration.

Peter's chapel and the pulpit in Santa Cruz may have been executed by the same man, namely by João de Ruão. Leaving São Marcos for a minute to finish with the works of Nicolas Chantranez, we turn to the small chapel of Nossa Senhora da Pena, founded by Dom Manoel in 1503 as a cell of the Jeronymite monastery at Belem.
