O'Reilly agreed: "If you don't give us some change, Colonel, we'll have to open a charge account in your name." "Carmaba!" muttered Lopez. "I intended to borrow from you gentlemen. Well, never mind we'll commandeer what we wish in the name of the Republic." Lopez's attack proved a complete surprise, both to the citizens and to the garrison of the town.
There came out an article, of course in the "People's Banner," headed, "Our Prime Minister's Good Works," in which poor Lord Earlybird was ridiculed in a very unbecoming manner, and in which it was asserted that the thing was done as a counterpoise to the iniquity displayed in "hounding Ferdinand Lopez to his death." Whenever Ferdinand Lopez was mentioned he had always been hounded.
In order to be prepared for the great day which was to come to Paraguay, the army was increased, trained, and drilled until it became one of the most important and efficient military organizations in the Continent. This army was completely and entirely the toy of Lopez.
At the sentence that "Miss Lopez was gettin' along all right," the visitor moved off to the stairs. He again wanted to run but he felt Cushing's eyes on his back and made a sober ascent till the turn of the landing hid him; then he rushed. At her door he knocked and heard her voice, low and querulous: "Who is it now?" "The old man," he whispered, his mouth to the crack.
Accordingly about 28th July he set out attended by Antonio and Lopez, who had accompanied him from Villa Seca to Madrid, proceeding in the direction of La Mancha, and selling at every village through which they passed from twenty to forty Testaments. At Aranjuez they remained three days, visiting every house in the town and disposing of about eighty books.
"Señor Loan Fish, do you know?" Pell ventured to get out part of a sentence. "Say, what the ..." But Pedro's active gun came against his ribs, and he paused, as who would not? "She gets it all the wife," Hardy told Lopez. "That is, if the husband hasn't made a will." "'Ave you?" the bandit turned on Pell. "'Ave you made a will?" His tone was incisive. "Do not lie." "No, damn you!"
When the hour was over he went to his desk, drew a cheque for £500 in favour of Ferdinand Lopez, and then caused his Secretary to send it in the following note: Matching, August 4, 187 . The Duke of Omnium has read the letter you have addressed to him, dated the 3rd instant.
But for the gravity of our situation and prospects I could have burst out laughing when Don Sanchez gave us the translation of this promise, for the idea of regarding these pens as chambers was not less ludicrous than the air of pride with which Don Lopez bestowed the privilege of using 'em upon us. Don Lopez left us, promising to send a maid with the necessary appointments for Moll's toilette.
"Ah; yes; I fear it is." This was very sad to him. Lopez had already had from him a considerable sum of money, having not yet been married twelve months, and was now living in London almost free of expense.
"Like other people she wants many things that she cannot get." "I will tell my tradesmen to furnish her with what she wants, up to, well, suppose I say £200. I have spoken to her and she wants your sanction." "My sanction for spending your money? She can have that very quickly." "You can tell her so; or I will do so." Upon that Mr. Wharton was going, but Lopez stopped him.
