And it was noticed that when the Rural Dean announced a service of Lenten Sorrow, aimed more especially at the business men, the congregation had diminished by forty per cent. I suppose things are just the same elsewhere, I mean the peculiar kind of discontent that crept into the Church of England congregation in Mariposa after the setting up of the Beacon.
They gave us some hides taken from some of the cattle they had recently slain, and from these we constructed a boat and ferry rope in which we crossed the river, and then continued our journey to the mining camp on Aqua Frio, in Mariposa county. It is very strange to think that since that time I have never met a single man of that party of twenty-one.
Alfonso prized highly a cane, fashioned by the Indian maiden from a fallen Big Tree. The wood had a pale red tint, and was beautifully marked and polished. Part of the Indian hunting party went forward with the game, while Mariposa, Red Cloud, and three Yosemite braves with their ponies, waited for the handsome pale face to recover partially.
But if you have half forgotten Mariposa, and long since lost the way to it, you are only like the greater part of the men here in this Mausoleum Club in the city.
That sort of thing is merely the A B C of banking, as he himself told me when explaining why it was that he hesitated to divulge the exact standing of the Mariposa Carriage Company. Of course, once you get past the A B C you can learn a lot that is mighty interesting. So I think that if you know Mariposa and understand even the rudiments of banking, you are perfectly acquainted with Mr. Pupkin.
"Mademoiselle is in doubt of your eagerness to see her," he said. "Oh, please come," urged Kitty through the telephone. "Waste no time." "I will be with you in twenty minutes," said Ydo sweetly. Back in the drawing-room, Kitty was too excited to remain quietly in her chair, but danced about expressing her delight at the prospect of at last seeing the Mariposa sans mask and mantilla.
In the spring of 1849 Reading crossed the Coast Range with a party of his Indians, and discovered rich diggings in the valley of the Trinity. In the summer of the same year Colonel Frémont discovered the mines on his ranch, in the valley of the Mariposa. Aspirations for liberty and self-government were requickened.
An Algerian corsair could have come into the town and had a dozen of them for the asking, and as for a wounded English officer, well, perhaps it's better not to talk about it outside or the little town would become a regular military hospital. Because, mind you, the Mariposa girls are all right. You've only to look at them to realize that.
Well, it is really the Mariposa who fascinates me." "Bobby! What on earth do you mean?" Kitty's expression was a mixture of Disappointment and indignation. "Just what I say. The Mariposa fascinates me; but, Kitty," his face softening, "I love the fairy princess with all my heart. I have loved her from the first moment I saw her." "How dear! I have thought so, hoped so, for some time."
Would you believe it that practically every one of them came from Mariposa once upon a time, and that there isn't one of them that doesn't sometimes dream in the dull quiet of the long evening here in the club, that some day he will go back and see the place. They all do. Only they're half ashamed to own it.
