"But we shall never get there," Tom said in dismay. "I am sure the lady could not walk another five miles; she is quite exhausted now." "You will not have to go five miles, senor.

"I have great things to tell you, señor," said Doña Estafania to her husband, "the cream and substance of which is this: the fainting girl before you is your daughter, and that boy is your grandson. This truth which I have learned from her lips is confirmed by his face, in which we have both beheld that of our son."
