On reaching the open doorway she stopped, and called in a low voice "Andres!" "Aqui, Senorita!" answered the groom, stepping a little more into the light. "All saddled?" "Si, Senorita." "You have muffled their hoofs?" "Every one, Senorita." "Oh! what shall we do with him," continued the lady in a tone of distress, and pointing toward the zaguan.
Often had she hunted and teased him, and tried to make him understand 'cosas de Inglaterra, and to make him cease from his beloved dice; but no sooner did he see her face than, with a cry of joy, 'La Senorita Maria! la Senorita Maria! down he went upon his knees, and began kissing the hem of her dress.
"We've struck a sunk iceberg the rest of the story to-morrow, Senorita," he cried, as they both sprang to their feet. "The rest of the story to-morrow," she repeated, angry at the stroke of fate which had so interrupted the course of her fortune.

As to making up the bed, it would be better to die at once, in Manuela's opinion, than to live Here Manuela stopped suddenly, for she had seen something.
