"You think too deeply, my child," said the Cardinal, moved by the tender pity in Manual's voice, "Nothing is accomplished without pain in this world, our dear Lord Himself suffered pain." "True," said Manuel, "But His pain was endured that there might be less of it for others! He asked His children in this world to love one another for His sake not to grind each other down!
"Release him," said Borroughcliffe. Griffith advanced between the two parties, and spoke so as to be heard by both: I propose to descend to the vault, and ascertain the loss and present strength of Captain Manual's party: if the latter be not greater than I apprehend, I shall advise him to a surrender on the usual conditions of civilized nations."
"Why don't you go to bed?" After a moment, came Manual's voice, "Ain't sleepy." "Neither am I. Look here, do you like to play cards?" "What kind? Euchre! I like euchre all right. Or pitch." "Well, what would you say to coming up and having a game of euchre then, Manuel? If you can't sleep?" "That'd be all right." The lower footfalls ascended to join the footfalls on the upper floor.
During this short interval, the Pilot stood reclining against the corner of the ruins in profound silence; but when the sounds of Manual's march were no longer audible, he advanced from under the deeper shadows of the wall, and approached his youthful companion. "We are indebted to the marine for our escape," he said; "I hope we are not to suffer by his folly."
He was in the habit of wearing a threadbare macfarland, frayed at the edges, a large, dirty handkerchief tied around his throat, and a soft, yellow, grimy slouch hat. His daughter, Milagros by name, a slender lass as sleek as a bird, had relations with Leandro, Manual's cousin. The sweethearts had plenty of love quarrels, now because of her flirtations, now because of the evil life he led.
Now, I have proposed to this gentleman with the Savannah face, that he should go into the abbey, and negotiate an exchange. I will give him for Griffith, and the crew of the Alacrity for Manual's command and the Tigers." "The Tigers!" cried the lad, with emotion; "have they got my Tigers, too? Would to God that Mr. Griffith had permitted me to land!"
