"She'll spoil that frock if she goes on crying," he said to himself, "and it was very expensive." "I have nothing but remorse to offer in atonement," she went on. "But that remorse is very sincere " Mario Escobar swept her plea aside with a furious gesture. "So that's it!" he cried. "You were just making a fool of me!"
But the boldest of his assertions was with respect to the caravel of Escobar. It shows the ignorance of the age, and the superstitious awe which the common people entertained with respect to Columbus and his astronomical knowledge. Porras assured them that no real caravel had arrived, but a mere phantasm conjured up by the admiral, who was deeply versed in necromancy.
Escobar might have laid a lash across her delicate shoulders. "Yes," she said defiantly. "Some one who was not here a week ago?" "Yes." To Escobar's humiliation was now added a sudden fire of jealousy.
Here was a quadrangle, flanked about with white columns; through numerous arches one saw oaken doors set into the thick walls of the shaded building. The three men dismounted; three of the men in the driveway took the horses. Escobar stepped to the broad double door directly in front of them. As his spurred boot rang on the stone floor the door opened and Ruiz Rios opened to them.
Domingo Escobar got great delight from throwing sentences, queries, at him with inconceivable rapidity, and in pretending that every reply Charles attempted was senseless.

I knew I could rely upon their obedience to that order.
The other companions of our expedition from the household of the governor were F. de Morla, Escobar, Heredia, Ruano, Escudero, and Ramos de Lares, besides many other adherents of the governor.
"I rubbed it into Chichester's thick head that Escobar was overmuch at Rackham Park, and in the end it percolated." Much the same account of Escobar, with this instance of Rackham Park omitted, was given to Hillyard by Commodore Graham on the Friday morning. "He is the kind of man whom men loathe and women like. He runs about London, gets a foot in here and there.
My cousin, Ruiz Rios, whom I distrust and detest; the Captain Escobar who is a small man and a murderer, the other men whom I have gathered about me, they all know, for in this, if in nothing else, I can trust them all." "But if I went away," he asked, "and talked?" "You are not going away." He lifted his brows quickly at that. "I go where I please," he reminded her. "When I please.
You shall find out for me exactly what Martin Hillyard is doing in the Mediterranean, and why he visits in a yacht the ports of Spain. You will find this out for me, so that I may know whether he is acting for my rivals. Yes." "He is not," answered Joan. "You will find this out for me, so that I may know," Escobar repeated smoothly.
