This was much the simplest way, he decided; for even should Kirk meet a Garavel or a Fermina, there was no chance of his winning her, and love, after all, is but a passing impulse which may be summoned or banished at will by such simple mediums as charms.
Allan spoke in a hushed voice, and shook his head as if to show the hopelessness of aspiring to such aristocracy. Surely Kirk knew of the Ferminas? Arcadio Fermina was the owner of the pearl- fishery concession and a person of the highest social distinction. He was white, all white, there was no doubt on that score.
This welcome intelligence did much to make Kirk forget his wrath. "What's her name?" he inquired, eagerly. "Fermina, sar." "Are you sure?" "H'entirely. But it will not h'avail to be courting of those ladies, Master h'Auntony." "Is there more than one?" "Two of they sisters very rich. They h'occupy the 'ouse h'adjoining Senor Torres."
It was no later than the following day, however, that Runnels pointed out two young ladies who were driving past and informed him that they were the Misses Fermina. "Their old man has made a fortune out of the Pearl Islands," he remarked. "They say those girls have the finest collection of pearls in Central America."
