That's why I've axed ye to kum out hyar, and enter into this confaberlation." "Well, Walt, you shall be welcome to my advice. As to what you should do, that's clear enough; but what you may or can do will depend a good deal on what Miss Conchita says. Have you spoken to her upon the subject?" "Thar hain't yit been much talk atween us i'deed not any, I mout say. Ye know I can't parley thar lingo.
"C'est a dire ..." she said, looking down at her feet, "Concha Conchita." His strange solemnity made her smile, the smile of shyness that knows not what else to do. But it was the smile of dead Adele. "Thanks, my child," he exclaimed of a sudden, in a quick, hoarse, changed tone. I am going to try to rest a little." "Nothing I can bring you?" she asked, "some fresh milk?"
So Conchita for a new name had been given to her with that terrible sea christening received her first lessons in Spanish; and she proved a most intelligent pupil. Before long she could prattle to Feliu; she would watch for his return of evenings, and announce his coming with "Aqui viene mi papacito?" she learned, too, from Carmen, many little caresses of speech to greet him with.
Should he succeed in killing the Texan, with Conchita standing by and bearing witness to the deed, would be to forfeit his own life. He could find it in his heart to kill her too; but that would lead to the same result. Failing in his first blow, the great hunter would have him under his heel, to be crushed as a crawling reptile.
The mestiza glances towards her mistress for instructions. The latter hesitates to give them. Only for an instant. It can serve no purpose to gainsay the wishes of one who has full power to enforce them, and whose demeanour shows him determined on doing so. "You can go, Conchita," says her mistress; "I will call you when you are wanted."
With devotion also, of an humbler kind, Conchita is passing out and in, rejoicing in a general way. She pays no attention to a peon who lies tied behind the tent Jose; and gives only scorn to another seen fast bound beside him Manuel.
"The papers have taken it up, and one you probably know by name, La Capitale, has decided to investigate this strange phenomenon." "What was Conchita asking you just now?" "Oh, nothing, merely to give her a card for the ceremony." The conversation continued and turned to other subjects. The stranger ordered more wine and insisted on Fandor joining him.
Just now at the grille you looked as if the roses hadn't agreed with you." They both laughed, a little nervously, and Conchita brought the chocolate. When Aunt Viney came from the drawing-room she found the two young people together, and Cecily in a gale of high spirits. She had had SUCH a wonderfully interesting walk, all by herself, alone on the plain.
When he thinks of Conchita of that scene in the cotton-wood grove of the Texan kissing her holding her in his fond embrace when the Indian recalls all this, torturing his soul afresh, then no more remorse, not a spark of regret, not a ray of repentance! No; perish the dueno the duena too! Let die the good doctor, if need be all whom his vengeance has devoted!
I have always believed that you had it in you to become a saint. Yes, yes, I feel the strength and maturity of your nature, I know the lengths to which it might lead another; but you could not be bad, Conchita. I have known many women. In you alone have I perceived the capacity for spiritual exaltation. You are the stuff of which saints and martyrs are made.
