To meet on such a road in Spain without pausing to exchange a salutation would be a gratuitous insult, to ride in solitude within hail of another traveller were to excite or betray the deepest distrust. It was characteristic of Conyngham that he already waved his hand in salutation, and was prepared to hail the new-comer as the jolliest companion in the world.
Larralde paused, and drew from his pocket the letter in the pink envelope somewhat soiled by its passage through the hands of Colonel Monreal's servant.

It would never do for me to well, to get shot at this moment.
Concepcion and the first traveller, who was now within a dozen yards, were already exchanging words in a patois not unlike the Limousin dialect, of which Conyngham understood nothing.

She made a little signal to Conyngham not to interfere. Senora Barenna took this opportunity of asserting herself and her nerves. She sat heavily down on a stone seat and wept.
'She has been at school in England at the suggestion of my dear friend Watterson with his daughters, in fact. 'And must have found it dull and grey enough compared with Spain, said Conyngham. 'Ah!
