"How do you think Captain Bezan is, to-day?" whispered the boy, anxiously, as the surgeon's followed him noiselessly from the sick-room to the corridor without.
"Why, that the page saved the life of the lieutenant-governor, Lorenzo Bezan?" "Yes." "He must have been hard by, for the page had only just left us." "True." "Yet he was not with the rest who entered the house," continued Ruez. "No," answered Isabella, "some one said he hastened away for a surgeon." "Hark!" "Who called you, just now, sister?" asked the brother.
"With care and good nursing we may hope so," was the reply of the attendant, who still looked earnestly into the face of the inquirer as he spoke. "My lady knew not the pecuniary condition of Captain Bezan at this time, and desired that this purse might be devoted to his convenience and comfort; but she also desires that this may not be known to him.
Thus actuated, the countess resolved to make a confidant, or, at least, partially to do so, of the queen, and to interest her to return Lorenzo Bezan once more to the West Indian station, with honor and all the due credit.
Here we spent the evening late with great mirth, and so home and to bed. 23rd. Up, and after doing some business I down by water, calling to see my wife, with whom very merry for ten minutes, and so to Erith, where my Lord Bruncker and I kept the office, and dispatched some business by appointment on the Bezan.
"Still," said Don Gonzales, somewhat subduedly, "he who would wed my peerless child must bring something besides title and honor. A fortune as large as her own-nothing else. This I know Lorenzo Bezan has not, and there's an end of his intimacy with your sister, and I must tell her so this very evening." "As you will, father.
Ruez stood on the other side of her couch, and kissed her white forehead, but said nothing. Yet he seemed to know more than his father as to what had made Isabella sick, and at last he proved this. "Why could you not tell Isabella and me, father, that our old friend Captain Bezan was to be there, and that it was he who was to be lieutenant-governor? Then sister would not have been so startled."
"Sister," said Ruez, to Isabella, a few days after her marriage with the lieutenant-governor, "are you going to have Lorenzo Bezan cashiered? Are you going to complain of him, as you promised me you should do?" "You love to torment me, Ruez," said the blooming bride, with affected petulence. "That is not answering my question," continued her brother.
Perhaps there is no better spot than on shipboard for a dreamer to be; he has then plenty of time, plenty of space, plenty of theme, and every surrounding, to turn his thoughts inward upon himself. Lorenzo Bezan found this so. At times he looked down into the still depths of the blue water, and longed for the repose that seemed to look up to him from below the waves.
"She did, and further, left with me a purse to be devoted to supplying your wants." "This you never told me of before." "I have had no opportunity, and to speak honestly, it was very well timed and needed." "Money!" mused Lorenzo Bezan. "Money, that is full of dross; but a tear, I would to Heaven I had earlier known of that." "I hope I have caused you no uneasiness, general." "Enough.
