"It seems foolishness to me, but perhaps it flatters your vanity to be able to go about scaring women and kidnapping girls." There was scorn instead of bewilderment in her voice and eyes now, and Don Carlos's pale face flushed slightly.
The boys gazed in astonishment at the fallen horseman, who righted himself with alacrity, stretched his arms and legs to satisfy himself that there were no bones broken, and then commenced shouting some orders to his companion, who put spurs to his horse and started in pursuit of the steer, which was galloping over the prairie, dragging Carlos's saddle after him.

Oh!
