When Inez shuts her lips up in that tight line, and snaps her black eyes in that unpleasant way, I know to my cost, it means 'war to the knife. I'll be routed with dreadful slaughter, and Inez's motto is ever, 'Woe to the conqueror! Well, here goes!" He looks up at her, a good-humored smile on his good-looking face. "Humbly grateful for my recollection of you!
It was dark in there among the trees. Wasn't sure, but it struck him it might be the tall, black-avised man, who came first the night Sir Victor brought home my lady, and who had been seen skulking about the park once or twice since. Had heard a whisper, that the man was Miss Inez's brother didn't know himself.
Appealing was the look which the wounded one bent on Inez: he strove to utter his wishes, but, alas, it was indeed too late. The blood gushed anew from his side, crimsoning bandage and couch, and dyeing Inez's dress. Dr. Bryant took one of the cold hands and pressed it kindly. Mañuel opened his eyes, and looked gratefully on one who had at least endeavored to relieve him.
The bridge was gained at length and almost passed, when she descried in the surrounding gloom a dark figure approaching from the opposite direction. Closer she drew the mantle about her form, and slackened her rapid pace. They met, and the stranger paused and bent eagerly forward: "Who goes there?" The voice was well known. Inez's heart gave a quick bound, and she answered: "Inez de Garcia!"
She drew a small Bible from her pocket as she spoke, and pressed it within Inez's fingers, adding "I cannot sufficiently thank you for your kindness in warning me of my danger; I shall leave this place as soon as possible, and shall constantly pray that you may be spared and blessed." She held out her hands.
Walter, hearing the number and street of Inez's lodging, insisted upon accompanying the chums on their errand. Grace did not go. She frankly admitted that such squalid places as Mother Beasley's were insufferable; and where Inez lived might be worse.

Impress it on Tia Inez's mind that it means something to be born to Las Palomas." I set out on my errand and he hastened away to overtake the padre before the latter reached the house.
"When I reached home, my unfortunate wife seemed more repulsive than ever; in fact, her disagreeable ways, added to her natural homeliness, had rendered her almost intolerable. The memory of Inez's lovely form and face, her graceful manner and silvery voice, was ever present with me. I repeatedly told myself how wicked this was, and resolved not to call again on Don Manuel, lest I should see her.
Yet when, weeping bitterly, she said, "Father, I love Alexander as deeply as my mother did you," there thrilled through him a memory of Inez's ardent love, as she clung to him with utter abandon, and found her world at his side; and he blessed the union of the lovers.
She is a Catholic; for mine own eyes have seen her in the confessional, and mine own ears have listened to her aves and paters." Mary uttered a deep groan, and clasped Inez's arm, murmuring "You are you must be delirious or mad: Florry deceive me! impossible!" "Ah! poor deluded Mary: do you trust any on earth?
