A glass of water was brought to him and the worthy canon, with a humility that was in perfect keeping with his sacerdotal character, took it from the servant's hand to give it to him himself, and held the plate while he drank. Caballuco gulped down the water noisily. "Now bring another glass for me, Senora Librada," said Don Inocencio. "I have a little fire inside me too."
It is not my nephew alone who is going to commit the outrages you have mentioned and which I fear; if it were he alone I should not fear him. I would tell Librada to stand at the door with a broom and that would be sufficient. It is not he alone, no!" "Who then?" "Pretend you don't understand!
Father will be so glad, and so will Carmela and Jack, and Librada and Ned. Harvey dear, I do hope your sisters will like me. Perhaps they will think I am only a native girl.... Oh, do be careful, I can see Maoni's back shaking. She knows you're kissing me, I'm sure." "Don't care if she does; don't care if she sees me kissing you, like this, and this, and this; don't care if Atkins sees us."
The great Ramos stopped for a moment to give Librada certain messages of trifling importance, which a neighbor had confided to his good memory, and when he entered the dining-room he found the three before-mentioned countrymen and Senor Licurgo, who by a singular coincidence was also there, conversing about domestic matters and the crops.
Librada vows and declares that Pinzon was the man who came into the house. My daughter denies every thing; my daughter has never told me a lie! I persist in my suspicions. I think that Pinzon is a hypocritical go-between, but nothing more." "We come back to the same thing that the author of all the trouble is the blessed mathematician. Ah! my heart did not deceive me when I first saw him.
Not even the shadow of guilt was found to attach to the old servant; but Librada confessed frankly between tears and sighs all her delinquencies, which we will sum up as follows: Shortly after his arrival in the house Senor Pinzon had begun to cast loving glances at Senorita Rosario. He had given money to Librada, according to what the latter said, to carry messages and love-letters to her.
"I was warm, I went to the window, my handkerchief dropped out, and I came down stairs for it!" "Why didn't you ask Librada to get it for you? Librada! Where is that girl? Has she fallen asleep too?" Librada at last made her appearance. Her pale face revealed the consternation and the apprehension of the delinquent. "What is this? Where were you?" asked her mistress, with terrible anger.
Carmela and her husband are living in the Ladrones, and Librada and her husband, though they are still on Ponapé, are ten miles away from mother and I. Then Jack is in California, and Ned is away on a whaling cruise." A quick emotion stirred his bosom as he looked into her now joyous face.
And then, too, she knew she was beautiful; not so beautiful, perhaps, as her two sisters, Carmela and Librada, whom she had heard Harvey say were the handsomest girls he had ever seen. But yet and again a pleasant flush tinged her pale cheeks he had always liked to talk to her most, although she was only a girl of sixteen, just returned from school in California.
"You used to tell father that Carmela and Librada were the most beautiful women you had ever seen." "So they were. But you are quite as beautiful. And, Tessa " "Yes, Harvey" this in the faintest whisper. "Could you care for me at all, Tessa? I do not mean as a friend. I am only a poor trader, but if I thought you could love-me, I " She took a quick glance around the deck, and bent towards him.
