For some days the caravans traveled through a very sparsely populated country, and then arrived at a large village, where the Anahuac language was spoken. "We are now in the country of the king," the principal merchant said.
When all had entered, Anahuac came and prostrated himself before me and said, 'The commands of the Son of the Sun are obeyed. All are here, and the door is shut. Before I answered him, I called Francis Hartness to me and said, 'Come here and stand by me, my friend, for I shall need your counsel. He came and stood by me on my right hand, saying as he looked still wonderingly at me,
I have come from a great distance beyond the sea, to see for myself the greatness of the Anahuac kingdoms, and am glad to meet two of its great nobles." The Mexicans were not surprised at Roger understanding their language and replying in it, for the dispatches had already acquainted the king with the fact that the white stranger could converse in their language.
Come forth to the dance, ye lords, let there be abundance of turquoise and feathers; our dwelling on earth is not for long; only let the gods give me flowers to my hand, give me abundance of turquoises. Oyohual in colinia o on in icelteotl ipalnemaa Anahuac o onnemia noyol ayio.

'Friends, she said, 'you know the disaster that has overtaken us. My husband has given you the message of the Teules. Our case is desperate. We have but a thousand men at most to defend this city, the home of our forefathers, and we alone of all the peoples of Anahuac still dare to stand in arms against the white men. Years ago I said to you, Choose between death with honour and life with shame!
All painter, poet, tourist, and novelist in search of the bright and beautiful, the poetic and the picturesque turn their backs upon this lovely land. Shall we? No! Westward, like the Genoese, we boldly venture over the dark wild waves of the rolling Atlantic; through among the sunny islands of Ind westward to the land of Anahuac.
And I had held this devil in my power, and that I might meet my May, I had suffered him to escape my vengeance, who, had I known the truth, would have dealt with him as the priests of Anahuac deal with the victims of their gods. I understood and shed tears of pity, rage, and shame. Then I turned and fled homewards like one mad.
Trees and water in the valley changed to gray. The skies which had been so bright now became somber and menacing. The boy felt a deep fear at his heart, but Mr. Austin seemed to be yet under the influence of Santa Anna, and talked cheerfully of their speedy return to Texas. Ned listened in silence and unbelief, while the gloom outside deepened, and night presently came over Anahuac.
