She was beautiful; she still had the freshness of youth, but time leaves its mark, and he felt that he was getting old; he looked at life from a height, as we look at the water of a stream, without dipping into it. Concha listened to him in astonishment, refusing to understand his words. What did these scruples mean?
They had not made any agreement; but Concha managed to calm him instantly by asking about Milita, praising her beauty, inquiring for poor Josephina, so good, so lovable, showing great concern for her health and promising to call on her soon. And the master was restrained, tormented by remorse, not daring to make any new advances, until his discomfort had disappeared.
Nothing could be less romantic than to stick in the mud." "May I ask," said Concha demurely, "how you dare to run the risks of an unknown sheet of water? I have heard it said that there is more than one rock and shoal in this bay." "I am not as rash as I may appear," replied Rezanov dryly, but smiling.
Grace and her other daughters dispensed egg-nog in the parlor it was New Year's Day had made the young girl a part of her very self, until Teresa indulged the fancy that without and within she was a replica of that Concha Argüello of California's springtime; won her heart so completely that she would have followed her not only into the comfortable and incomparably situated convent of the saint of Siena, but barefooted into that wilderness of Soledad where the Indians still prayed for their lost "Beata."
Even the Church may not reach the secret places of the soul, and who knows what heaven she may have found in hers? And now? I think purgatory is not for Concha, and he was not bad as men go, and has had time to do his penance. It is true the Church tells us there is no marrying in heaven but, well, perhaps there is a union for mated spirits of which the Church knows nothing.
But to Father Concha the sum represented five hundred cups of black coffee denied to himself in the evening at the cafe five hundred packets of cigarettes, so- called of Havana, unsmoked two new cassocks in the course of twenty years a hundred little gastronomic delights sternly resisted season after season. 'Not enough, your hundred pesetas, reverendo, not enough, laughed the man.
I am here until to-day." Patrick baptized him, and he went again into his sepulchre. From vespers on Sunday night until tierce on Monday Patrick would not come from the place where he might be. One Sunday Patrick was in a cold, damp place, when great rain fell on the earth, but it rained not in the spot where Patrick was, sicut in concha et vellere Gideoni accederat.
Concha Arguello was the famous daughter of its first subject, and with the powerful friends she would bring to her husband, the consummation of ends dearer to his heart than aught on earth would be a matter of months instead of years. And he thrilled with pride as he thought of Concha in St. Petersburg. Two years of court life and she would be one of the greatest ladies in Europe.
Such matters affect women and those who are in mental distress. After such a day as had at last worn to evening, the mind is at a great tension, the nerves are strained. It is at such times that men fly into sudden anger and whip out the knife. At such times women are reckless, and the stories of human lives take sudden turns. Concha knew that he had this woman at a disadvantage.
The youth was not talkative at any time, and Rezanov was conscious of little else save an overwhelming desire to see Concha again. One secret of his success in life was his gift of yielding to one energy at a time, oblivious at the moment to aught that might distract or enfeeble the will.
