Inez was delighted, naturally, for the affair had been a terrific shock to her. I could see how relieved she felt, for I was sitting directly next to her. The maid had, meanwhile brought in the coffee and Inez had been waiting to pour until Kennedy returned. She did not do so, now, either, however. It seemed as if she were waiting for some kind of signal from Kennedy.
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.
"We simply must find them if they're alive," spoke Bess, rather solemnly. "We'll find them alive!" predicted Walter, joining his cheerful efforts to those of his college chum. "Oh, you Americans you are so wonderful, so amazing!" whispered Inez. "I am so glad I am wiz you," and she divided her affectionate looks impartially between Jack and his sister.
Inez is the ruination of our young folks, and we all know it." "That's right!" called Mrs. Falkner; and Mary Spencer added a low, "Yes! Yes!" "She's better than any man in the room, right now!" cried Judith. "If you are going to drive her out, you ought to drive the men out." "Fine!" called Charleton Falkner. There was a quick guffaw of laughter, during which John Spencer rose.
"It is too late to repent now, Senora," said Inez. "Cannot Betty be got away also?" asked Margaret desperately. "It is just possible," answered Inez; "thus, before the marriage, according to the old custom here, I hand the cups of wine to the bridegroom and the bride. That for the marquis will be drugged, since he must not see too clear to-night.
Easy now, Doug. The Moose is about all in." Douglas grunted and the way to Inez' house was covered in silence. Douglas had no sense of confusion, nor of defeat. He was angry, but with his anger was a lust for battle and an exultation in the opportunity for it that smacked almost of joy. I'll get him back, he told himself, and I'll rebuild the chapel and I'll punish Charleton and Scott.
She saw the favourite room of her mother in the tower overhanging the sea, her brothers sprawled on the hearthrug, herself in her own little chair, her mother in her deep invalid sofa holding her youngest child in her arms, while she softly recited the "Evening Prayer at a Girl's School," "The Coronation of Inez del Castro," "Juana," or, to please the more robust taste of the boys, "Bernardo del Carpio," and "Casabianca," the last two in sweet inadequate tones.
"But how about your daughter, Miss Inez?" "Ah!" he said, with a quiver in his voice, "there you touch it. She ought to go away. There is no one for her to marry here, where we haven't seen a white man for years, and she's a lady right enough, like her mother.
Upon the road next day they agreed that if possible they would manage to get Inez away in Seville itself Owing to the large number of people who would be attracted there to witness the grand procession and high mass at the cathedral, the streets would be crowded, and it might be possible for Inez to slip away from those with her.
Even now you would not have been here if I had not written you a letter you dare not neglect sent a command you dare not disobey. You are here to-night because you dare not stay away."
