The delighted Senora overruled all objections, great and small; and she confirmed Juana's notion that the business of two worlds could be transacted in an hour, by settling her daughter's future happiness in exactly twenty minutes.
As he rose to take the duplicate key of Juana's door his eyes fell by chance on the circular gleam of light upon the black wall of the inner courtyard. Within that circle he saw the shadow of a group such as Canova alone has attempted to render. The Spaniard turned back. "I do not know," he said to the Marana, "where to find the key." "You are very pale," she said.
The second was born about two years after her arrival in Paris. The latter resembled both Diard and Juana, but more particularly Diard. His name was Francisque. For the last five years Francisque had been the object of Juana's most tender and watchful care.
For the rest of that night, and throughout the next day, Juana's imagination was the accomplice of her passion. On this first evening Montefiore forced himself to be as respectful as he was tender.
It would hardly seem that Juana's lukewarm Catholicism would be sufficient to warrant so radical a step, and it is difficult to give credence to the vaguely circulated rumor that Juana was insane.
I could hardly have had time to waken, rise, commit the deed of death, and return to such a completely deceiving semblance of sleep, in the short hour of Pedro and Juana's absence; and if I had, what madness would have led me there again, and so appalled me, as to prevent all effort of escape?" "Conscience," replied the chief of the Santa Hermandad, sternly.
Her tone dropped persuasively. "There's something that's not quite clear in my mind yet. I've been bursting to ask you, but you were too sick. Where does young Mr. Thode come in on this and how did you find out that old Rosa Mendez was the one who signed Tia Juana's name to that false deed?" "I didn't. It was Mr. Thode who found that out for me," Willa explained.
She might be the humblest of women, but at least she was not what her mother was an infamous courtesan. The merchant and his wife had fulfilled their trust with scrupulous integrity. Juana's fortune, managed by them, had increased tenfold. Perez de Lagounia, now the richest merchant in the provinces, felt for the young girl a sentiment that was semi-superstitious.
The moral of the story is in Don Juan's last words: "Blessed be the family!" and in Juana's remark: "Alas for him who lives alone in the world, for only his dogs will weep for him when he dies!" The other stories of this volume, "The Mother-in-Law," "The Judas of the Household" and "I Believe in God," all contain many charming scenes.
But, whatever happens, continue pure, and be faithful to your husband. Sacrifice all things to him, for he will be the father of your children the father of your children! If you take a lover, I, your mother, will stand between you and him. Do you see that dagger? It is in your 'dot," she continued, throwing the weapon on Juana's bed.
