Halfpenny had secured the two girls being permitted to say their prayers together in Dolores's room unmolested; and what was a reality to a contemporary became less and less to Dolores a mere lesson imposed by the authority of an elder.
Months of waiting and of apparent calm had followed that scene, while Ramuntcho, far from his native land, was beginning his military service. Then, one day, a wealthy suitor had presented himself for Gracieuse and she, to the entire village's knowledge, had rejected him obstinately in spite of Dolores's will. Dolores had reappeared alone in her home, mute, with a desolate and evil air.
Also she saw her aunt give a little start, and put it aside, and when she demanded. 'Is there no letter for me? Lady Merrifield's answer was, None, my dear, from Miss Sefton. Hot indignation glowed in Dolores's cheeks and eyes, more especially as she perceived a look pass between the two aunts.
Dolly, how could you! and 'Poor little pup! all crowded round in pity and indignation, and Wilfred observed, 'I told you so! 'You'll get no change but that out of the Lady of the Rueful Countenance, said Jasper. Mysie had for once nothing to say in Dolores's defence, being equally hurt for Fly's sake and the puppy's.

I will promise not to tell the others about it. No answer. There was something hard and swelling in Dolores's throat. 'Won't that do? said Gillian.

Presently she stirred again, and now she summoned all her remaining vitality to raise herself on an elbow.
Dolores's eyes flashed angrily; she governed her fury, and went on when the uproar subsided: "Your boats are ready?" "Ready and rotting wi' idleness!" roared Hanglip. "And ye purpose wasting powder and shot on some paltry craft of the islands! Wait, my brave lads, I have better game at hand!"
