Cortez had already sent word to Alfego that Ramon was coming to Arriba County. He could not afford a change of plans now. But the prospect of seeing her again filled him with pleasure, sent a sort of weakening excitement tingling through his body. And what did it mean that he was to be allowed to call on her? Had she, by any chance, won over her mother and brother? No; he couldn’t believe it.
The next day brought news of an obstacle to the march of the wagon train through Santa Anna and Rio Arriba.
"What a pity he has lost one eye! It quite injures the benevolent expression of his face." Although Garcia was very distantly connected with Clara, she gave him the title of uncle. "How is this, my uncle?" she said, gaily. "You send your merchandise trains through Bernalillo, and you send me through Santa Anna and Rio Arriba." Garcia, cowed and confounded, made no reply that was comprehensible.
Ramon went back to his office, his mind stimulated, working intensely. Never before had he thought so clearly and purposefully. He got out an old government map of Arriba County, and with the aid of the deeds in the safe which contained all his uncle’s important papers, he managed to mark off his holdings. The whole situation became as clear to him as a checker game.
