"Pepe," then cried the young girl, pressing her cousin's hand ardently between her own, "do you believe in God?" "Rosario! What are you saying? What absurdities are you imagining?" responded her cousin, perplexed. "Answer me." Pepe Rey felt drops of moisture on his hands. "Why are you crying?" he said, greatly disturbed.

No attempt during our absence had been made on the fort, although the garrison had been kept constantly on the alert. I need not describe the grief which the news of my uncle and cousin's death caused to my father and Juanita. They were, of course, now more anxious than ever to get back to Castle Kearney.
"I know not why my path should be at times So straitly hedged, so strangely barred before: I only know God could keep wide the door; But I can trust." "Mistress Perrote, I pray you counsel me. I am sore put to it to baffle my cousin's inquirations touching our Lady.
William came with a great following; he tarried awhile in his cousin's company; he went away loaded with gifts and honours.

I work like a horse, and I never spend a shilling that I can help. I want nothing for myself, nothing for myself. Nobody has suffered as I have. But Felix never thinks of me for a moment. 'I think of you, mamma. 'If you did you would accept your cousin's offer. What right have you to refuse him? I believe it is all because of that young man. 'No, mamma; it is not because of that young man.
