"MY DEAR MISS CHALLONER, I learn that you are in Barcelona, and at the same time I find with some indignation that my lawyer in Mallorca, with a deplorable excess of zeal, has been acting without my orders in respect to the property of the Val d'Erraha.
For this was Cipriani de Lloseta de Mallorca, a great man in Barcelona, if he wished it, a greater in his own little island of Majorca, whether he wished it or not. Leading out of this same fascinating Rambla, to the left, up towards the impenetrable fortress of Juich impenetrable excepting once, and then it was the pestilent Englishman, as usual leading then to the left is the Calle de la Paz.
At the death of Ferdinand, I believe, he was Bishop of Mallorca, a small insignificant see, of very scanty revenues, which perhaps he had no objection to exchange for one more wealthy; it is probable, however, that had he proved a devoted servant of the Pope, and consequently a supporter of legitimacy, he would have continued to the day of his death to fill the episcopal chair of Mallorca; but he was said to be a liberal, and the Queen Regent thought fit to bestow upon him the dignity of Archbishop of Toledo, by which he became the head of the Spanish church.
All my time was occupied in thinking how to fool the one and keep out of sight of the other till I could make escape from their immediate vicinage. But having once cleared from the island, it seemed to me that all probable danger of our future meeting was passed; at any rate, Mallorca would be the most unlikely spot to run foul of them in.
At the Fonda de Mallorca I took, in Spanish fashion, a three-roomed suite, and for one entire day did not move out of their whitewashed fastnesses. I sat thinking, thinking, and thinking, and felt my brain grow duller with every effort. "This will not do," I told myself.
