You still wish me to cease my attentions?" "I do! It is her wish and mine." "Then I shall do so, of course. If Miss Garavel is dancing to- night I would like your permission to place my name on her programme." "No!" exclaimed the banker. "Purely to avoid comment.
But at the bank he was told that the proprietor had gone home, and he drove to the house only to learn that Senor Garavel and his daughter had left for Las Savannas not half an hour before. So, back through the city he urged his driver, across the bridge, and out along the country road. Darkness had settled when he returned, raging at the trickery that had been practised upon him.
"The wish is mutual," Cortlandt answered, meaningly, but Senor Garavel concealed any recognition of the tone by a formal bow, and the meal progressed with only the customary small talk to enliven it. As soon as the three had adjourned to the Cortlandt's suite the host of the evening proceeded to approach the subject in his mind as directly as the circumstances permitted.
Garavel" the banker's eyes widened in a look of disconcerting intensity "and I am in love with her sort of a shock, isn't it? It was to me. I'd like to tell you who I am and anything else you may wish to know." "My dear sir, you surprise me if you are really serious. Why, you have seen her but once a moment, at the theatre!" "I met her before that night, out at your country place.
Meanwhile they gave a ceremonious little dinner, the one and only guest being Andres Garavel, the banker. Of all the charming peoples of Central America there are, perhaps, none more polished and well-bred than the upper-class Panamanians.
"Your father has told me everything" Garavel laid a hand upon his new son's shoulder "and we have become good friends already. I fear I owe you a great apology, my boy; but if I consent that you take my little girl away to your country, will that be reparation?" "Then you WILL let her go with us?" Kirk cried, happily. "If she doesn't go, I'll stay," Anthony Senior rumbled.
"I'm not a moderate person I can't do things by halves. No! I see you don't think of that, you are mad over this Garavel girl. But you can't get her." Something in his dazzled, love-foolish smile enraged her. "So! You are planning even now. Well, then, understand there are practical reasons, political reasons, why you can't have her. If Garavel were insane enough to consent, others would not.
"Speaking of David," his wife added; "it was you who first projected the railroad to that point, Senor Garavel." "Yes, I saw that it was needed. It would make Panama," he said, simply. "Under your administration it can be built. Mr. Cortlandt can assure you of our government's earnest co-operation. That would not be the case if General Alfarez were elected.
Kirk lost no time in calling at the bank, but was disappointed to learn that Senor Andres Garavel had left the city for an unexpected business tour of the Provinces and would not return for at least two weeks. At first he was inclined to doubt the truth of this statement, but a casual inquiry from Mrs.
Which of us, then, is the better?" Andres Garavel spoke threateningly, menacingly, to his daughter. "Enough! Our word was given, and you have broken it! You have brought disgrace to our name. Can a Garavel be President of the Republic with his daughter wed to a murderer?" "He is not that!" "It was no marriage, and it will not stand. I will have it annulled. Such things are easily done, Ramon.
