Every day some of the children would come to enquire after me, but Celestino, one of the larger boys, came one morning with a very special message from his mother. This communication was to the effect that they did not wish the school- teacher to die, he being "rather a nice kind of a man and well liked." Because of this she would be pleased to let me have her favorite saint.
Rey was speaking, leaning forward in his chair, and heaping words upon her like clods upon a corpse: "... But to-night, things were spoken which could only have come to them through you! Celestino Rey has been outgeneraled by a clever American girl, but he has also been betrayed by a South American cat the tortoise-shell of a bagnio-litter " Both white men commanded him to stop.
"But, Rugiero, what was the cause of his treating them thus?" "When they had arrived at my brother's house the wife, who had not expected them, took an aversion to them, and no sooner did she learn that they were strict Roman Catholics than she believed them to be capable of every crime. Celestino, who is in a decline, was treated with the greatest neglect.
His disordered body seemed an ancient classic volume, done in scarred vellum a book of perils, named Celestino Rey and all things about, the spears, guns, skins, shields, even the grim shadows, were but references to the text. The dinner was perfect. A tray of wines and a sheaf of cheroots were placed upon the balcony, at length, with two chairs covered with puma skins.
When de doctor get into him carriage he talk to himself, and give him short laugh." After an introduction to Signora Mortera, the doctor turned his attention to Celestino, who lay on the sofa pale and agitated: "Bless my heart! what a handsome lad! what splendid eyes! Ah! hm! hm! poor fellow! hm!" and he cleared his throat. "Let me feel your pulse."
Newcastle, our old friend and physician, and after describing the circumstances of the Mortera family, asked him to call and see Celestino in the evening. The doctor was a fine-looking man, with a profusion of silvery white hair and beard, a deep thinker, blunt and sincere of speech, and full of dry wit that made every one laugh but himself.
The Island did not hold more loyal devotion than his for Dictator Jaffier, to hear Monkhouse tell it; and how Celestino Rey had reached his ripe years, with such hatred in the world, was by no means the least of Equatorian novelties.... Here was a desperado in the sere, shaking for the need of drink, when he first appeared to Bedient.
Do not yield to the impulses of a strong imagination, but endeavor to forget whatever might prove a hindrance to you hereafter." "Ah, Felicia, my heart is too full ever to forget. Celestino, my brother, thou art indeed happy. Dost thou know it?" "Yes, Eugenio, I feel even too happy." "God bless thee, Celestino!
It was during the first dinner of the voyage that certain interesting information transpired from the conversation of Captain Bloom. "Insurrection was smoking down there when we left ten days ago. We expected to hear in New York that the shooting had begun. Celestino Rey very nearly got a body-blow over, while we were hung up in port before the last trip up.
Soon after I received a letter in Eugenio's handwriting informing me that the trinket he enclosed would be to me an evidence that his beloved brother Celestino was dead. He had died with a smile on his lips, and Eugenio with his own hands had unfastened the jewel from his neck.
