I have always been accustomed to consider religious feeling as instinctive; but Ambrosio's arguments have given me something approaching to a definite faith for an obscure and indefinite notion.
"Alas!" said the other, "I deserve no thanks; I deserve not the good opinion you express. In me you behold a victim of Don Ambrosio's arts. In early years he seduced me from the cottage of my parents: look! at the foot of yonder blue mountain, in the distance, lies my native village: but it is no longer a home for me.
A crafty look came into Ambrosio's eyes. "There is one way," he went on quietly, not heeding Wemple's reply, "in which you may make her your wife. But there is only one." The officer leaned eagerly forward in his saddle and the girl inside the door clasped her hands and listened breathlessly.
In its place you will see a dead wall of the same height as the parapet, running back for a long distance; and were you to go to the end of it, and again look around the corner, you would find a similar wall at the back closing in the parallelogram. In reality you have not yet seen the true front of Don Ambrosio's house, if we mean by that the part most embellished.
It was even asserted that he had been seen crossing the little bridge that led out of Don Ambrosio's garden, and thus brought down a fresh shower of scandal on the devoted head of Catalina. The scandal-mongers, however, were sadly disappointed on hearing that this bridge no longer existed, but had been removed by Don Ambrosio on the day following the discovery of his daughter's misconduct!
"Sign, then!" Lucifer thrust a pen into the flesh of Ambrosio's arm, and the monk signed. A moment later he was carried through the roof of the dungeon into mid-air. The demon bore him with arrow-like speed to the brink of a precipice in the Sierra Morena. "Carry me to Matilda!" gasped the monk. "Wretch!" answered Lucifer. "For what did you stipulate but rescue from the Inquisition?
"Do you think you'll be able to climb out of the mine?" asked Billie as they reached the main shaft. "Yes, with Ambrosio's aid; but I'm going out first. I don't think I have nerve enough left right now to be the last out." The exit from the mine was much slower than the descent had been, but in the course of an hour they were all once more out under the stars.
Don Quixote was eager to learn something of the maiden for whose sake Ambrosio's friend had died. One of the goatherds, named Pedro, related to him all that he knew. The parents of Marcela for that was the maiden's name and of Crysostom were very rich people, although they were farmers.
I saw Ambrosio's countenance kindle at Onuphrio's explanation of his opinions, and he appeared to be meditating an angry reply. I endeavoured to change the conversation to the state of the Colosaeum, with which it had begun.
