"And now my cloak over everything," she said. "Wait here, for I must get it, and do not move!" Dolores hardly knew whether Inez left the room or not, so noiselessly did the girl move. Then she felt the cloak laid upon her shoulders and drawn close round her to hide her dress, for skirts were short in those days and easily hidden.
This was the first time the two sets of lovers had met since the tragedy, and now each girl had married the man she loved. Therefore there was great joy. "My yacht is over at Monte Carlo," said Random, "and I am, going with Inez to South America. She wants to see her father." "Yes, I do," said Lady Random; "and we want you to come also, Lucy you and your dear husband."
He seemed quite different. The pupils of his eyes did not seem to be quite so dilated as they had been at other times, or even when he arrived. Even his heart action appeared to be more normal. I think Inez noticed it, too. There was none of the wildness in his conversation, such as there often had been at other times.
"I heard about what you done for my little gal here, Inez Lopez, whose father was once a cowboy on the Circle ranch, and lost his life in a fight with some of his countrymen when they quarreled. I'm glad to see you. Found a nice little pocket here a year or so back.
Even the great fight that we had fought and the victory we had won against overpowering odds did not appear to impress him. He only glared at the mountain into the heart of which Inez had been raped away, and shook his fist.
Did she dislike to repeat Inez' words, or was she waiting for Polly to coax her to tell them? No one could have guessed. Polly, thinking that Inez often spoke unpleasantly, turned toward Vivian, and laying her little hand on her arm, said: "I guess you'd better not tell what Inez said. I won't feel any different toward Rose, if you do.
Inez, left to herself, had passed a sad and lonely evening; seated by a casement which looked into the garden, she had pensively watched star after star sparkle out of the blue depths of the sky, and was indulging a crowd of anxious thoughts about her lover, until the rising tears began to flow.
Ze blue waves broke on ze coral as I have seen it so, often. Oh, but, Senoritas, I was sorry to awaken so sorry for it was but a dream." "No, Inez, it was not all a dream," said Cora, gently. "If you like, you may go back to Sea Horse Island. We will take you to Porto Rico with us, and from there you can easily go to your own island."
"Last evening you looked into a certain garden and saw two people walking there yonder is one of them," and he nodded towards Inez. "Shall I go on?" "No," she answered in a low voice, and passing her hands before her face. "Only tell me who and what is that woman?" and in her turn she looked towards Inez. "Is it necessary?" he asked.
Still, suspecting something, I also gave Hans instructions to keep a sharp eye on Inez and generally to watch the place, and if he saw anything suspicious, to communicate with us at once.
