"I congratulate you on finding Dona Dolores at home," observed Uncle Richard when we arrived. "Yes, we had that honour," said Juan, endeavouring to hide the sword which he had received he had given me his to carry. I observed that he placed it carefully against the wall, and covered it with his cloak. Supper was now announced, but Juan spoke very little during the meal.
Betty, standing muffled in long cloak and fur hood, on the steps of the house, said to herself, with a thrill of excitement, "All's well; please God I may say as much when midnight sounds to-night."
