The next day, when Don Tomas Garfias asked her hand of her mother, Doña Coquetta accepted him with a shrug of her shoulders. "And thou lovest me, Eulogia?" murmured the enraptured little dandy as Doña Pomposa and Aunt Anastacia good-naturedly discussed the composition of American pies. "No." "Ay! señorita! Why, then, dost thou marry me? No one compels thee." "It pleases me.
"Oh, yes, Doña Coquetta, I am used to such pretty little speeches. When you began to yawn I should ride away, and you would be glad to see me when I returned." "What would you bring me from the mountains, señor?" He looked at her steadily. "Gold, señorita. I know of many rich veins. I have a little cañon suspected by no one else, where I pick out a sack full of gold in a day.
"But you could have sent word by some friend travelling to San Francisco, señorita." "He would find it out in good time. Why hurry?" "Ay, señorita, well are you named Doña Coquetta. You are famous even to San Francisco. I will return to my poor friend. At your service, señora. At your service, señorita," and he bowed himself out, and galloped away.
"La Coquetta," "The Coquette," was the title of a cigar shop. These stores are almost all conducted by French or German owners, with now and then a Jew of uncertain nationality; few are kept by Spaniards, and none by Americans, or citizens of the United States. American enterprise seeks expression here in a larger field.
Two months after Eulogia had sent her letter, she received one from Graciosa La Cruz, containing the information that Ignestria had married the invalid girl whose love for him had been the talk of Monterey for many years. And Eulogia? Her flirtations had earned her far and wide the title of Doña Coquetta, and she was cooler, calmer, and more audacious than ever.
