My dear Ramon, an admirable lady." "I I shall leave you, perhaps?" questioned Gertrudis, modestly, as she rose, but Ramon exclaimed: "No, no! By all means remain. I have remarkable things to disclose, amazing news that will interest you. There was a serious altercation, and Senor Cortlan' openly accused his enemy before all the others. It was most dramatic, it was terrible!
Arguello presented his family ceremoniously as the guest of honor rose and bowed with formal deference. "My mother, Dona Ignacia Arguello, your excellency, who unites with me in praying that you will regard our home as yours during your sojourn in the north. My sister, Maria de la Concepcion Marcella Arguello, and my little sisters, Ana Paula and Gertrudis Rudisinda.
Although Brazil has not yet produced any Amazons of poetry or fiction to stand beside such names as Sor Inés de la Cruz or Gertrudis Gómez de Avallaneda, it has contributed some significant names to the women writers of Latin America. In addition to these activities she made herself favorably known in the press of Rio, Sao Paulo and Pernambuco. Her career started with the novel Confession.
With Gertrudis I cannot be severe; but unless it becomes necessary to make conditions with my old friend Alfarez, I should prefer to let the girl have her own way." As Cortlandt escorted his caller to the door, the Panamanian paused and said, with genuine solicitude: "You look badly, sir. I am afraid you work too hard.
Kirk looked the speaker squarely in the eyes as he answered: "I don't understand what you're driving at. I haven't the least interest in any married man's affairs never have had, in fact.

"My mother has gone to Gertrudis Rudisinda, who is crying," said Concha.
There is not a drop of running water between the two rivers, except in the two small streams of San Salvador and Santa Gertrudis, and these only contain water in the rainy season. Neither of them had running water when we passed them. The chaparral commences within forty or fifty miles of the Rio Grande.
In that case, if all went well, it did not seem impossible that Garavel would give his consent, and then Gertrudis alone would remain to be won. If, on the other hand, her father refused his permission well, there are many ways of winning a bride. Kirk believed in his lucky star, and had a constitutional inability to imagine failure.
It ran: MY DEAR MR. ANTHONY, To my extreme distress, I hear a rumor that Gertrudis is to become your wife. I assure you that neither she nor I blame you in the least for this unfortunate report; but since busy tongues will wag upon the slightest excuse, we feel it best that no further occasion for gossip should be given, I am sure you will co-operate with us.
Gertrudis nodded wisely at the American. "We are very proud of Ramon, he is so young to be high in politics." "Eh! Yes, and many of our bravest patriots 'ave been black men." "Oh, we've had some brave negroes, too," Kirk acknowledged. "So! You see!" Alfarez was triumphant. "The greatest fighter we ever had was a colored chap." "Ah!" "His name was Gans Joe Gans."
