When, a minute later, they came face to face with General Vincente and his companion, a white-faced, fluttering man of sixty years, Julia Barenna received them with a smile. There are some men who, conscious of their own quickness of resource, are careless of danger, and run into it from mere heedlessness, trusting to good fortune to aid them should peril arise.
A moment later Julia Barenna came into the room, her dark eyes wide with terror, her face pale and drawn. 'Where is the Queen Regent? she asked, looking from one face to the other, and seeing all her foes assembled as if by magic before her. 'Her Majesty is on the road between Aranjuez and Madrid in safety, my dear Julia, replied the General soothingly. 'But they think she is here.
The Spaniard rose and took up his cloak, which he had thrown over the back of the nearest chair, not forgetting to display a picturesque corner of its bright lining. 'You swear you will deliver it, only with your own hand, only to the hand of the Senorita Barenna? And you will observe the strictest secrecy? 'Oh, yes, answered Conyngham carelessly, 'if you like.
The Senora Barenna was a leading social light in Toledo, insomuch as she never refused an invitation. 'One has one's duties towards society, she would say with a sigh. 'Though the saints know that I take no pleasure in these affairs. Then she put on her best Seville mantilla and bustled off to some function or another, where she talked volubly and without discretion.
One can perceive the house oh, yes upon the hillside, once beautiful, but now old and decayed. Mistake is now impossible. It is a straight way. I wish you a good journey. Conyngham rode on, vaguely turning over in his mind a half-matured plan of effecting a seemingly accidental entry to the house of Senora Barenna, in the hope of meeting that lady's daughter in the garden or grounds.
'Wherein I am false, I am honest not true to be true. 'And would you believe it? there are soldiers in the house, at the very door of Julia's apartments. Senora Barenna, who made this remark, heaved a sigh and sat back in her canework chair with that jerkiness of action which in elderly ladies usually betokens impatience with the ways of young people.
Blessed Heaven! what does it matter? No one can read them except the priests, and they do not want to do so. Secondly, because the English have helped to overthrow Don Carlos 'You will have a penance, interrupted Miss Julia Barenna quietly, 'from Father Concha for talking politics. 'But how will he know? asked Senora Barenna sharply; and the two young ladies laughed.
She, who knew every expression, noted the look in his face, and her heart leapt within her breast. She had long secretly rejoiced over the failure of the Carlist cause. Such, messieurs, is the ambition of a woman for the man she really loves. Senora Barenna rose and held out her hand with a beaming smile.
'It is not the most beautiful approach to Ronda, said this garrulous person, 'but well enough in the summer, when the flowers are in bloom and the vineyards green. The road is straight and dusty until one arrives at the possession of the Senora Barenna a narrow road to the right leading up into the mountain.
She was rather bored that evening, and it was pleasant to imagine herself in the midst of great political intrigues. 'We were wondering if you would come, she said. 'I am here there everywhere but I always come back to the Casa Barenna, he said gallantly. 'You look tired, said Julia quietly. 'Where are you from? 'At the moment I am from Madrid.
