Oh! she would teach this Spaniard that the Englishwoman, whom he had made believe was his desired mistress, could be his master. At any rate, he should hear the truth before the end. She unlocked the door, and Inez entered bearing a lamp, by the light of which she scanned her with her quiet eyes.
"O mighty General," he said, "She-who-commands bids me conduct the lady who is sick to the place that has been made ready for her, which is near your own so that you may watch over her if you will." I wondered how Ayesha knew that Inez was sick, but being too tired to ask questions, merely bade him lead on.
"Say," he ejaculated, "it was Norton brought you into this case, wasn't it?" "I cannot deny that," returned Kennedy quietly, meeting his eyes. "But it is Inez Mendoza now that keeps me in it." "So you're another rival, are you?" purred Whitney sarcastically. "Lockwood and de Moche aren't enough. I have a sneaking suspicion that Norton himself is one of them. Now it's you, too. I suppose Mr.
Lucy was not surprised, as she was accustomed to Braddock's vagaries. Meanwhile Don Pedro, comfortably established at the Warrior Inn, wandered about Gartley in his dignified way, taking very little interest in the village, but a great deal in the Pyramids. As the Professor was absent, Lucy could not ask him to dinner, but she did invite him and Donna Inez to afternoon tea.
He dearly wished, as an engaged lover should, to remain on the chance that Donna Inez might return, but duty called him and he was forced to obey. The night was very dark, although it was not particularly late. But there was no rain, and Random walked rapidly through the village and down the road to the Fort.

'No, dear, it is not; but I will teach you a better. 'Hush, Edward, you must not say that. Holy Virgin! if Friar Ricardo should hear you!

'That is his business, and I was obliged to confess to him last night.
"I mean," repeated Craig, carefully noting a certain hesitation in her tone, "was there any one who, for reasons best known to himself, might have murdered him in a way peculiarly likely under the circumstances, say, with a dagger?" Inez flashed a quick glance at Kennedy, as if to inquire just how much or how little he really knew.
"It's certainly odd she should speak like this," said Random thoughtfully; "but you forget, Miss Kendal, that she proved an alibi." "What of that?" cried Don Pedro hurriedly, "alibis can be manufactured." "It will be best to see this woman and question her," suggested Donna Inez. Archie nodded. "I shall do so to-morrow.
