"If any of the dragoons had turned back However, they did not, and, as our horses are both fresher than theirs and carry less weight, they will have no chance of overtaking us if they do; and, as the whole of the regiment has gone on, there is no chance of meeting any more of them Caramba! Halt!" "What is it?" I asked, pulling up short. "I spoke too soon. More are coming. Don't you hear them?"
Dios! what had happened? There must be some mistake! With a note of keenest disappointment in his voice he turned sharply on the driver and impatiently demanded what had become of the little Indian girl that had been placed in his charge. "Little Indian girl? Caramba!" A look of bewilderment accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders and a "no sabe, Señor Padre," was the only answer he received.
"He's layin' to get a shot at our runner," declared Stover, while Mr. Cloudy, forgetting his Indian reserve, explained in classic English his own theory of the nocturnal visits. "Do you remember Humpy Joe? Well, they didn't cripple him, but he lost. I don't think Gallagher would injure Mr. Speed, but he might bribe him." "Caramba!" exclaimed the Mexican. "God 'lmighty!"
He paid no attention to the blandishments of his ragged admirers, but turned himself upside down, always a sign of contempt with him, said "Caramba!" and would say nothing more. A little procession was formed, the least ragged of the patriots leading the way, Rita and Manuela following. The others crowded together behind, exclaiming, wondering, pleased as children with this wonderful happening.
As to seeing anything it was out of the question. They could not see each other. Even the lighter's sail, which remained set, was invisible. Very often they rested. "Caramba!" said Nostromo, suddenly, during one of those intervals when they lolled idly against the heavy handles of the sweeps. "What is it? Are you distressed, Don Martin?" Decoud assured him that he was not distressed in the least.
"I beg your pardon," said Miss Keene, greatly amused, "but I don't understand." "Ah, Caramba! What are you, little one?" Seeing that her guest still looked puzzled, she continued, "Ah! Mother of God! Why are your friends so polite to you? Why does every one love you so?" "Do they?
'Senor, said the tallest of them in a soft and gentle voice, 'suffer me to offer you our felicitations on your wonderful and he stopped suddenly. Did I still dream, or did I know the voice? Now for the first time I could see the man's face it was that of JUAN DE GARCIA! But if I knew him he also knew me. 'Caramba! he said, 'whom have we here? Senor Thomas Wingfield I salute you.
But she is beautiful, is this Kitty! I met her in the Gulch road this afternoon this side of Trocalara. Caramba! how she can ride! The Parker has good taste: I drink to my future acquaintance with her." "'As he raised the glass to his lips Parker stood behind his chair and whispered, "If you drink that liquor, by God it will be the last drop that shall ever pass your lips!"
Open-eyed, open- mouthed, she stared at the tide of foaming steeds, like a maiden martyr gazing at the on-rushing waves of ocean! "Caramba!" said Marmalada, "voila une jeune fille pas trop bien gardee!" Giovanelli turned pale, and, muttering Corpo di Bacco, quaffed a carafon of green Chartreuse, holding at least a quart, which stood by him in its native pewter. Young Ponto merely muttered, "Egad!"
The noise of oars rowing fast, to the precipitated jingling of a guitar, swooped down upon us with a gallant ferocity. "Caramba," Castro muttered; "it is the fool Manuel himself!" I said, then: "We have eight shots between us two, Tomas." He thrust his brace of pistols upon my knees. "Dispose of them as your worship pleases," he muttered. "You mustn't give up, yet," I whispered.
