"It seemed as though I could not live through the night without seeing thee once more my star, my little flower." The brilliant tertulia was just over, the last guests had departed, and the Senor Administrador had gone to his room already, when Dr.
Santa Ana, they said, was for breaking down the Missions; or, as they termed it, ``Santa Ana no quiere religion. Yet I had no doubt that the office of administrador of San Diego would reconcile Don Juan to any dynasty, and any state of the church.
"You have brought some news, doctor?" Dr. Monygham blurted it all out at once, in the rough. For some time after he had done, the Administrador of the San Tome mine remained looking at him without a word. Mrs. Gould sank into a low chair with her hands lying on her lap. A silence reigned between those three motionless persons. Then Charles Gould spoke "You must want some breakfast."
She smiled, and extended her hand after the English manner towards Charles Gould, who was bowing before her; while Decoud, with his elbows spread on the back of the sofa, dropped his eyes and murmured, "Bonjour." The Senor Administrador of the San Tome mine bent over his wife for a moment. They exchanged a few words, of which only the phrase, "The greatest enthusiasm," pronounced by Mrs.

Beside my window grew the companion of my weary hours, the waving palm; beneath there was a little flagged court, shut in by small buildings belonging to the hotel. There was a well there and a banana-tree, and a man sitting down plucking alive a struggling fowl. I called to him in Spanish: "Send the administrador to me." And he looked up.
"We needn't think of it any more," I said gently. "Only you must remember if such a thing occurs again, we cease to live together, that's all."

I could not repress a smile as I saw the administrador had determined to be on the safe side this time.
