"I will abjure twice over, if it pleases monsieur," put in the tall Spanish-looking ruffian. "Nothing would delight me more than to be a Huguenot. By the windpipe of the Pope, for a flagon of wine I would be a Jew!" "And I a damned infidel Turk," wearily added their fat comrade, "for a roast fowl, and a place to lay my miserable body!" At this moment the fop's eyes fell on Blaise.
That I cannot tell; but Quiquendone really exists; with its narrow streets, its fortified walls, its Spanish-looking houses, its market, and its burgomaster so much so, that it has recently been the theatre of some surprising phenomena, as extraordinary and incredible as they are true, which are to be recounted in the present narration.
There, on that mound, sleep the parents of my mother; to them comes no morrow. Allons! We shall be late for tea. Brother has gone to sister's, and we shall be alone." In a few minutes they were galloping down the avenue to the old Spanish-looking mansion, hid away almost from view in the forest and floral surroundings, which made it so lovely to view.
The pirates cheered with ferocious glee as they saw the plight to which they had reduced us, and their captain a tall, handsome scoundrel, with a very Spanish-looking cast of countenance had the impudence to leap up on the rail of his vessel and hail us, demanding to know whether we had struck! "No!"
Ah!" she broke off, looking toward the doorway. "Here he comes now!" she said. "He's rather late. Who is the Spanish-looking man with him, I wonder? He's rather handsome, isn't he?" Baron de Vries moved a little forward to look, and exclaimed in his turn. He said: "Ah, I did not know he was returned to Paris. That is Ste. Marie."
We should walk beside this pleasant Rio, for a little way down on the left is the church of S. Trovaso, with a campo that still retains some of the grass which gave these open spaces their name, and a few graceful acacia trees. In this church is a curiously realistic "Adoration of the Magi" by Tintoretto: a moving scene of life in which a Spanish-looking peasant seems strangely out of place.
Then there arose a veritable babel of tongues, punctuated by embracings; but in the end the retinue and the baggage were got off up the drive, followed by the children and the little Spanish-looking boy, with whom they had already made friends, leaving only Betty and her closely muffled-up attendant.
Stephen's Church, Olean, N.Y., whom I had not seen for years, and from this hour he was my constant travelling companion for weeks in the California tour, ready for every enterprise and adventure. At Pueblo were some quaint Spanish-looking buildings, and farther on we were among the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
"Weren't you there with two ladies, rather Spanish-looking, one much older than the other?" He raised his brows and blew out a cloud of smoke. "I shouldn't wonder," he assented, and seemed to dismiss the subject from his thoughts. While Esther resumed her task he roamed aimlessly about, winding up again in the salon, where she heard him rustling a newspaper.
Miss Benham's eyes followed the Spanish-looking young man as he made his way through the joyous greetings of friends toward his hostess. "So that is Ste. Marie!" she said, still watching him. "The famous Ste. Marie!" She gave a little laugh. "Well, I don't wonder at the reputation he bears for gallantry and that sort of thing. He looks the part, doesn't he?" "Ye-es," admitted her friend.
