An' his sisters an' his uncles an' his aunts begun pourin' in from the Azores they're all related there, you know; an' pretty soon San Leandro was a regular Porchugeeze settlement. "An' old Silva wound up by buyin' these five acres from grandfather. Pretty soon an' father by that time was in the hole to the neck he was buyin' father's land by the hundred-an'-sixties.
"What, arrested for this murder of La Bianca?" "Impossible!" "But quite true, nevertheless. Anybody can easily assure themselves of the fact by walking as far as the Palazzo del Governo." "Leandro arrested on suspicion of murder? Well, I think the tragedy is passing into a farce." "It will be fatal to Leandro. He will die of fright, if no other evil happens to him."
But in the name of all the saints what took the Conte Leandro out of the Porta Nuova at that hour of the morning, after passing the night at a ball?" "I still think that the Venetian girl has done the deed," said Manutoli, whose opinion was no doubt in some degree warped by his desire that the criminal should turn out to be a foreign plebeian rather than a Ravenna noble.
And then very slowly a huge bundle of cloaks and rags and furs, nearly circular in form and about five feet in diameter, began to move towards the door of the carriage, and gradually, by the help of Signor Leandro and Signora Marta, to struggle through it and get itself down on the pavement.
Leandro was an ill-tempered, quarrelsome sort; his brutal instincts were quickly awakened; despite his habit of going every Saturday night to the taverns and restaurants, ready for a rumpus with the bullies and the ruffians, he had thus far managed to steer clear of any disagreeable accident.
Milagros did not heed his words; she danced with her skirt gathered in one hand, answering him in peevish monosyllables. The schottisch over, Leandro invited the family to refreshments. To the right of the entrance there were two decorated staircases, which led to another lot about six or seven metres above the grounds where the dance was being held.
The lawyer stepped rapidly to the door, and at the stair-head found the Conte Leandro, bursting with the news, which he had hoped to be the first to communicate to the Marchese, and which, of course, showed how wise and timely had been his own interference in telling the Marchese of the proposed excursion of Ludovico, and how disastrous had been the results of his not having paid due attention to it.
It would not do to quite smother her in verse on her first arrival; and, you know, our good Leandro has rather a special gift that way. Well, get up any kind of dimostrasione you like for the occasion, it will all help to give eclat to our opening. You can arrange all about the when, and the where, etc., with Stadione. We are going to have a meeting of the Belle Arte Committee here this morning.
He looked at the chaparral banker through his double-magnifying glasses in amazement. "You see," said Longley, easily explaining the thing away, "Tom heard of 2000 head of two-year-olds down near Rocky Ford on the Rio Grande that could be had for $8 a head. I reckon 'twas one of old Leandro Garcia's outfits that he had smuggled over, and he wanted to make a quick turn on 'em.
While Leandro would be away working in the shoeshop, Lechuguino would visit the proof-reader's family; he now saw Milagros with the full consent of her parents. Leandro was, or pretended to be, the only person unaware of Milagros' new beau.
