Then Edith May Jonas, solemn with anxiety and importance, rose to sing. She was a plain, flaxen-haired girl, with a Teutonic cast of feature and a thin voice; but every one, benumbed with speechless admiration of her blue silk dress, derived from her performance an impression of surpassing beauty and unbounded talent. "Caramba! but she is like a vision!" sighed Señora Vigil in Jane's ear.
A whole troop this time. They pass in a cloud of dust. After a short interval another detachment sweeps by; then another and another. "Gracias a Dios! they are putting on more speed. At this rate we shall soon be at liberty. But, caramba, how they might have been trapped, Señor Fortescue!
"Noble gentlemen," said the old man, presently recovering his speech, "I know not how to thank you for this valuable assistance.

"They did but seize me by the wrist, father," answered the young lady. "But yourself you are not hurt?"
"Are there ranches, with cavalcades and bull-fights, lazy caballeros lying in hammocks smoking cigarritos, or dancing the night through with silly girls? Dios de mi alma! I feel as if I did not care." "Caramba!" exclaimed Adan, "I am famished. Do you suppose they have left us anything to eat?"

Two or three Spaniards, who stood upon the beach looking at us, wrapped their cloaks about them, shook their heads, and muttered "Caramba!"
"Your advice is good, sergeant, and I intend to profit by it," cried Barriero. "We saw one man slip when we were crossing, and I shan't forget his face in a hurry. Caramba! it makes me shiver yet."

"He was, indeed, my good friend. It is shocking." "Yes, and to think he should have been killed in this cowardly manner!" "Killed! Is it believed that he was murdered? Caramba! I supposed he had shot himself. That was the gossip an hour ago." Garavel was deeply affected, and motioned for the dishes in front of him to be removed. Ramon nodded. "There are suspicious circumstances, it seems.
"Caramba!" exclaimed the master, with gentle emphasis, "how so?" "Perhaps señor had better ride down to the quarters," replied the overseer.
