Ni era fácil, supuestas las ideas dominantes, cuya filiación española databa del reinado de Carlos III, que un joven de su carácter e inclinaciones dejara de formar en el bando de los Martínez de la Rosa, Alcalá Galiano y Quintana, y a que en esfera menos activa pertenecían hasta hombres que, como Gómez Hermosilla y Moratín, aceptaron el gobierno efímero de José Bonaparte.
He made his way to the swimming-bath, still cheerful and smiling, determined not to miss the midday meal by one second, for, like all the heroines of Mr. E. F. Benson's novels, the eighteen-year-old Joven was afflicted with a perpetual voracious hunger.
Helen asked politely who these two were Juan Carr and El Joven. But the old woman merely shook her head and relapsed into silence frankly studying her. The girl was glad of the interruption when Howard rapped at the door. His arms were full of bundles.
The Joven, his sun-baked round face wreathed in grins, as though he were having the time of his life, was now using his revenque in earnest, and the young horse decided that he would prefer to try a gallop at full speed.
A young horse, who had hitherto run wild, would be let in and lassoed, with a second lasso thrown over his hind legs. Before tightening the lassoes the men threw a recado, or soft leather saddle on him, the Joven tugging at the string-girths until the unfortunate grass-fed animal looked like a wasp. The lassoes were tautened, and the youngster thrown over on his side.
"Fling off that hideous garment which becomes you not at all, and fly with me to my father in the City of Mexico. I hear from him constantly, and he is wealthy and will protect us. The barque, Joven Guipuzcoanoa, leaves Monterey within a week after the convent closes for vacation." The priest raised his clasped hands to heaven. "She is mad! She is mad!" he said. Then he turned on her fiercely.
Instead she saw both mirth and admiration shining in the baby-blue eyes. She turned her back upon El Joven, who retaliated by turning his back upon her and swaggering away into the stable, whistling through his teeth as he went. Howard went with him for his horse. 'Papa, said Helen after the stern fashion which in time comes natural to the girl with a wayward father, 'what are you two up to?
Off he went like an arrow from a bow, the Joven dexterously guiding him through the entrance to the corral, partly with the thong of raw hide, in part with light strokes of the revenque on the side of the head, and they disappeared in a dense cloud of dust over the limitless "camp."
He was not persuaded to go until Sturges had promised to send not only himself but his sweetheart to Mexico. Doña Brígida was violently opposed to matrimony, and would have none of it on her rancho. Sturges promised to ship them both off on the Joven Guipuzcoanoa, and to keep them comfortably for a year in Mexico. It was not an offer to be refused. They started at dawn.
Yet he was too wary a hand to show confidence. 'Credidimus, we believe we have believed, he opened in hesitating slow time, 'tonantem Joven, thundering Jove regnare, to reign caelo, in heaven.
