He regretted having allowed himself to be led away by circumstances, and at the moment when the last of the Medianas except himself disappeared from his eyes, he regretted an heir so worthy to bear the name. Now, when on the eve of mounting another step by the conquest of the Golden Valley, this regret became more vivid.
You yourself, Pepe would you wish to return to your own country, since you have known the charms of a wandering life?" "There is between the heir of the Medianas," replied Pepe, "and the old coast-guard man a great difference.
"There lies the last descendant of the Medianas," said Pepe, with a sigh. "What care I for the Medianas and their powerful race?" replied the Canadian. "I know but Fabian. When I saved him, and attached myself to him as though he had been my own, did I ask about his ancestors?" "You will wake him if you talk so loud," said Pepe; "your voice roars like a cataract."
Notwithstanding this haughty reply, the younger son of the Medianas could not but remember how he, a trembling and weeping child, had, twenty years before, in the castle of Elanchovi quailed beneath the glance of the man whom he now presumed to judge. The timid eaglet had now become the eagle, which, in its turn, held the prey in its powerful talons.
The Spaniard pointed to the wounded man; who groaned in his sleep, as though his guardian angel warned him that there was a question of abandoning him to his enemies. "What matter?" said Bois-Rose; "is his life worth that of the last of the Medianas?" "No," replied the Spaniard; "and I, who half wanted a short time ago to abandon the poor wretch, think now I would be cowardly."
The glances of the two Medianas crossed like two swords, and Diaz contemplated, with mingled astonishment and respect, the adopted son of the gambusino Arellanos, suddenly transformed and raised above the humble sphere in which he had for an instant known him. The adventurer awaited the solution of this enigma. Fabian armed himself with a pride which equalled that of the Duke de Armada.
