She leaned with a luxurious indolence among them, sipping chocolate and smoking a cigarrito. Isabel was on a couch of the same description. She wore a satin petticoat, and a loose linen waist richly trimmed with lace. It showed her beautiful shoulders and arms to perfection. Her hands were folded above her head.
Time and time again have we seen the unwary stranger stand amazed and bewildered between our own indifference and the sudden termination of a promising anecdote, through his own unlucky interference. So we said nothing. "The Judge" another instance of arbitrary nomenclature pretended to sleep. Jack began to twist a cigarrito. Thornton bit off the ends of pine needles reflectively.
The two soldiers slouched in their walk, and presently, when their beats met before the door, they let the butts of their guns rest on the ground, and exchanged pleasant talk about pretty, dark girls that they had known in far-away Spain. One boldly lighted a cigarrito and the other encouraged by his example did likewise. Hark, what was that? "A lizard in the grass," said Carlos.
But they say he is yet in the capital, and there is a reward of one hundred good Spanish dollars for the one who will bring him in, or who will tell where he is to be found." Benito quietly puffed at his cigarrito and Juana, the cooking being over, threw ashes on the coals. "If he is still hiding within reach of Santa Anna's arm," said Ned, "somebody is sure to betray him for the reward."
"My dear Don Francisco," replies the Mexican, tranquilly twirling a cigarrito between his fingers, "there is law for those who have the power and money to obtain it.

The lamp and the reflections of the brazier illumined fantastically the shadows of the noble room. The mistress of the house offered a "cigarrito" to their semi-compatriot.

'You do not like my cigarrito, Senor? she asked. 'Yet it is better made than yours. At that she laughed, and her laughter trilled in his ear like music; but the next moment her face fell. 'I see, she cried. 'It is my manner that repels you. I am too constrained, too cold. I am not, she added, with a more engaging air, 'I am not the simple English maiden I appear.
"Permit me, Senor Coronel," said the Dona Joaquina, taking the cigarrito from the major's hand, and giving it a turn through her nimble fingers, which brought it all right again. "Thus now hold your fingers thus. Do not press it: suave, suave. This end to the light so very well!" The major lit the cigar, and, putting it between his great thick lips, began to puff in a most energetic style.
Plodgitt turned an honest penny by letting his room, temporarily, to two quiet Mexicans, who, but for a beastly habit of cigarrito smoking which tainted the whole house, were fair enough lodgers.
