As for myself, I don't care. I am always willing to suffer and endure. 'Blessed are they that suffer, for they shall inherit the kingdom of heaven." Tom pricked up his ears, Tom, Sr., put down his knife and fork to listen, and Rita again took her seat at table. "Billy Little has plenty of money," continued Mrs. Margarita, addressing her daughter.
But being a lover, he could not see this. He saw only enough to perplex and deter him. As they drew near the house, Ramona saw Margarita standing at the gate of the garden. She was holding something white in her hands, looking down at it, and crying piteously. As she perceived Ramona, she made an eager leap forward, and then shrank back again, making dumb signals of distress to her.
Hereof the Spaniards make great profit; for buying a maid of twelve or thirteen years for three or four hatchets, they sell them again at Margarita in the West Indies for fifty and an hundred pesos, which is so many crowns.
'Unhappy villain that I am! replied Dietrich, gesticulating fox-like refusal; 'if I but accept a favour, I break faith with the Club. 'Break it to pleasure me, said Margarita, smiling wickedly. Dietrich gasped. He stood on tiptoe to see if any of the Club were by, and half-stretched out his hand. A mocking laugh caused him to draw it back as if stung. The grapes fell.
There was a sudden intimation of the call being echoed; but it snapped, and ended in shuffling tones, as if the hall-door had closed on the response. 'What 's this? roared the Baron, in that caged wild beast voice Margarita remembered she had heard in the Cathedral Square. No one replied. 'Speak! or I'll rot you a fathom in the rock, curs!
"I wonder what he is going to do there," she thought. "He can't be going to cut willows;" and her eyes followed him till he disappeared among the trees. Ramona was not the only one who saw this. Margarita, looking from the east window of Father Salvierderra's room, saw the same thing.
She said severely, 'Where did you learn that song you were last singing, Margarita? Speak, thou girl! Margarita laughed. 'The thrush, and the lark, and the blackbird, They taught me how to sing: And O that the hawk would lend his eye, And the eagle lend his wing. 'I will not hear these shameless songs, exclaimed Aunt Lisbeth.
Margarita softened the theme with a verse: 'And tho' to sting his enemy, Is sweetness to the angry bee, The angry bee must busy be, Ere sweet of sweetness hiveth he. The arch thrill of his daughter's voice tickled Gottlieb. 'That's it, birdie! You and the proverb are right. I don't know which is best, 'Better hive And keep alive Than vengeance wake With that you take.
When Margarita had finished singing the ballad of the KING OF THULE, she was loudly cheered and again when she came to the end of the jewel song: "Ah, the joy of past compare These jewels bright to wear! ..."
Here in much misery we waited days for the long and wild storm to cease. We hoped the Admiral was yet at the mouth of the Bethlehem, but could not do more than hope. Then came through every peril that might be Pedro Ledesma, from the ships. They waited! Break through come down! The Margarita could never pass the bar that now the falling water left exposed.
