But, as he progressed, a slight incoherency was noticeable: he occasionally contradicted himself, and was obliged to be sustained, supplemented, and, at times, corrected, by Keene and Brimmer. Substantially, it appeared that they had come from San Francisco to Mazatlan, and, through the influence of Mr.
"I say, old man, after all, the regular straight-out American style lays over all their foreign flops and fandoodles. I wonder what old Brimmer would say to his wife's full-dress nightgown eh?" But at this moment the long-drawn, slightly stridulous utterances of Mrs. Brimmer rose through the other greetings like a lazy east wind.
Brimmer, for domestic reasons, was quite willing to allow the episode of Miss Montgomery's connection with their expedition to drop for the present. Her name was only recalled once by Miss Keene. When Dick had professed a sudden and violent admiration for the coquettish Dona Isabel, Eleanor had looked up in her brother's face with a half troubled air.
Brimmer has a good deal to say up your way?" "Ah, yes; but what will you? It is my brother who has love for her." "But," said Brace, stopping suddenly, "doesn't he know that she has a husband living?" Dona Isabel lifted her lashes in childlike wonder. "Always! you idiot American boy. That is why. Ah, Mother of God! my brother is discreet.
Brimmer and those men of ours, who, I dare say, have acted as silly as the Mexicans themselves, will only be quiet, we can have our own way here yet." "And poor Captain Bunker?" said Miss Keene. "It seems hard to say it, but, in my opinion, he is better under lock and key, for everybody's good, at present. He'd be a firebrand in the town if he got away. Meantime, let us go to our room.
Markham and myself to act as your escort. It was Don Miguel's express request." A slight flush of pride suffused the cheek of the young girl, but the next moment she turned diffidently towards Mrs. Brimmer. "We must all go together," she said; "shall we not?" "You see your triumphs have begun already," said Brace, with a nervous smile.
Without looking upon myself as a widow, or as indefinitely separated from Mr. Brimmer, the few words let fall by Mr. Brace show me what might be the feelings of my countrymen on the subject. However charming and considerate your hospitality has been and I do not deny that it has been MOST grateful to ME I feel I cannot continue to accept it in those equivocal circumstances.
"Yes; but he said you were to meet him there," continued Markham, glancing around the empty room with a slight expression of relief. "My watch was twenty minutes fast, and I had given him up," said Brimmer, with mendacious effrontery. "Miss Montgomery is dressing. You can bring him here before she returns."
That prostrate condition of active humanity, which so irresistibly appeals to the feminine imagination as segregating their victim from the distractions of his own sex, and, as it were, delivering him helpless into their hands, was at once their opportunity, and his. All the ladies volunteered to nurse him; it was with difficulty that Mrs. Brimmer and Mrs.
What were her few hours of applauded instruction with the pretty Murillo-like children of the Fort compared to his silent and unrecognized labor! Yet even at this moment an uneasy doubt crossed her mind. "I suppose Mrs. Brimmer and Miss Chubb interest themselves greatly in your in the Padre's charities?"
