Pomfret; John, this is the Marquis D'Almavivas." I cannot now describe the grace with which this introduction was effected, or the beauty of her face as she uttered the word. There was a boldness about her as though she had said, "I know it all the whole story. But, in spite of that you must take him on my representation, and be gracious to him in spite of what he has done.
I should leave Seville as quickly as I could, and should certainly not again put myself in the way of the Marquis D'Almavivas. Indeed, I dreaded the moment that I should be first alone with her, and should find myself forced to say something indicative of my feelings to hear something also indicative of her feelings.
The story is all about Seville, and, of course, it annoys me that they should be Englishmen." "And what did they do?" "The Marquis D'Almavivas was coming up to Seville in the boat, and they behaved to him in the most outrageous manner. He is here now and is going to give a series of fetes. Of course he will not ask a single Englishman."
"Remember, John, we are in the church; and poor papa will be waiting breakfast." I need hardly continue the story further. It will be known to all that my love-suit throve in spite of my unfortunate raid on the button of the Marquis D'Almavivas, at whose series of fetes through that month I was, I may boast, an honoured guest.
"We shall manage to live even though the Marquis D'Almavivas may frown upon us," said I, proudly. "He is the richest, and also the best of our noblemen," continued Maria; "and I never heard of anything so absurd as what they did to him. It made me blush when Don told me." Don Tomas, I thought she said.
