Preciosa sighed, and her mother shrewdly suspecting that the sigh was prompted by love for Don Juan, said to the corregidor, "Since Don Juan is a person of such rank, and is so much attached to our daughter, I think, señor, it would not be amiss to bestow her upon him." "Hardly have we found her to-day," he replied, "and already would you have us lose her?
The royal audience listened to the representations of the colonists, and appointed Villagran to resume the command, but only granted him the title of corregidor, and gave him orders to rebuild the city of Conception.
They were out of sight of all signals from Corregidor when Martindale's cable came suggesting search for Private Benton Willard. Zenobia Perkins sniffed contemptuously and scoffed malignantly when told that the doubting Thomases were gaining ground and numbers, that though Mr.
This, señor, is the real history of the illustrious scullery-maid, who is no scullion, in which I have not departed one tittle from the truth." The host had long ended his narrative before the corregidor broke silence, so much was he struck by the strange facts he had heard.
Billy Gray, mending only slowly, had been sent to Corregidor, where the bracing breezes of the China Sea drove their tonic forces through his lungs and veins, and the faintly rising hue of coming health back into his hollow cheeks.

No people embrace more readily than the Spaniards the opportunity of spending a day without work.
In company with him, but following as a rear-guard, was Don Garcia Osorio, the belligerent bishop of Jaen, attended by Francisco Bovadillo, the corregidor of his city, and followed by two squadrons of men-at-arms from Jaen, Anduxar, Ubeda, and Baeza.* The success of last year's campaign had given the good bishop an inclination for warlike affairs, and he had once more buckled on his cuirass.
A large amount of money has recently been spent in fortifying Corregidor until it is now considered practically impregnable. The village extends for about half a mile close along the beach and is flanked, on the west, by the buildings of a United States quarantine station.
