Close beside him on the grass lay a dark, shapeless object which, on closer inspection, proved to be the remains of Juan Ramon, trampled almost beyond recognition by the stallion's terrible hoofs. While Chiquita was being confronted by Don Felipe and the attention of every one was occupied by the scene that followed, Juan seized the opportunity for which he had been waiting.
It must have gone through the heart, for he dropped down dead in the road, without a struggle. Although he had gained the victory so easily over his fierce assailant, Agostino concluded that this was not a good place for them to tarry in, and called to Chiquita, who jumped up instantly, wide awake, and manifested no alarm at sight of the dead wolf lying beside the chariot.
"'Once upon a time," he began, "'there was a little girl who lived with her father and her stepmother " "What's 'stepmother'?" Lulu asked. Pete explained. "The stepmother had two daughters, and all three of these women were cruel and proud " "What's 'cruel and proud'?" Chiquita asked. Pete explained. "'And so between the three the little girl had a very hard time.
Another instant, and Chiquita vanished through the gate into the garden and Captain Forest, remounting his horse, came riding leisurely down the road at a walk, inhaling the rose with evident pleasure. She drew back into the shadow of the old wall and pressed close into the thick bushy mass of white clematis vine which hung over it from above and waited until he passed.
Her love was born of that murder the strange, almost sexless being, half child, half goblin, that she had been until then, existed no longer Chiquita was a woman from the moment of that heroic act of sublime devotion. Her passion, that had bloomed out in one instant, was destined to be eternal a kiss and a stab, that was Chiquita's love story.
The souls of Blanch and Chiquita shone like radiant twin stars from out the gloomy, abysmal depths of the Egyptian darkness that had settled over the world. Perhaps the most remarkable and amusing feature of it all was that, with the exception of Blanch, the others still seemed able to take themselves seriously.
The latter frequently accompanied Padre Antonio on his charitable missions and thus it chanced that she made Pepita's acquaintance and learned her story. Time passed and all went well with Felipe until the day he chanced to meet Chiquita.
"Have you got the knife yet?" said the strange little creature abruptly to Isabelle "the knife with three bonny red marks." "Yes, Chiquita, I have it here in my bosom," she replied. "But why do you ask? Is my life in danger?"
"I cannot understand it." "No more can I nor any one else," answered Señora. "But I have been forgetting my duty; I must prepare a room for you, Don Felipe. In the meantime," she added, ascending the veranda and pausing for an instant, "be assured of the hearty welcome of your friends when they learn of your return." "Chiquita danced in public?
Chiquita bent down her head, put her hand over her eyes, and remained for several minutes perfectly motionless; then she raised her head and without a word went and opened the window, clambered up on the sill, and gazed out intently into the darkness. "Is she really going to take flight?" said Isabelle to herself, as she anxiously watched Chiquita's movements, not knowing what to expect.
