Then, as I turned my head after riding past, she seemed to gather courage for the act, and absolutely beckoned me back. "I obeyed, senores, almost without thinking, so great was my astonishment. It was greater still when I heard what she had to say. She began by thanking me for my forbearance of her father's infirmity, so that I felt ashamed of myself. I had meant to show disdain, not forbearance!
"Another flask of this wine will not be objectionable, and a bundle of cigars would be welcome," answered the chief alguazil, laughing at the thought of the comfortable quarters into which he had fallen, and determined to make the most of them. "Certainly, Senores; I am sure my master would not object to afford all you require," said Jose, going out to fetch what was asked for.

They have sampled your power," "Yet why do you object, Carlos, to having the Gringo pair put out of the way?" "I do not care anything about their lives," Tisco declared, coolly.
