Camber," I cried, with concern, "are you unwell?" He moistened his dry lips, and: "You are returning to Cray's Folly?" he said, speaking, it seemed, with difficulty. "I am, sir. I am staying with Colonel Menendez." "Ah!" He clutched the collar of his pyjama jacket and wrenched so strongly that the button was torn off. His passion was incredible, insane. The power of speech had almost left him.
Friendship had changed to aversion, aversion to hatred, and hatred to open war. The forest paths were beset; stragglers were cut off; and woe to the Spaniard who should venture after nightfall beyond call of the outposts. Menendez, however, had strengthened himself in his new conquest. St.
It was he, himself, Juan Menendez, who broke into Cray's Folly. It was he who nailed the bat wing to the door. It was he who bought two rifles of a kind of which so many millions were made during the war that anybody might possess one. And it was he who concealed the first of these, one cartridge discharged, under the floor of the hut in the garden of the Guest House.
It was sheer intuition, perhaps, but whilst he could never rely upon its answering his summons, once active it never misled him. "You think some real menace overhangs Colonel Menendez?" "I am sure of it." He stared into my face. "There is something very, very strange about this bat wing business." "Do you still incline to the idea that he has been followed to England?"
They'll be with you until the last day of your trip! Mother and father and daughter, Menéndez is the name. Fascinating creatures. I've got your reservations, in the same car with them!
"I thought my heart was broken, for something told me my father was dead. This was true." "What!" I exclaimed. "You don't mean " "I don't know, I don't know," she answered, brokenly. "He died on his way to Havana. They said it was an accident. Well at last, Senor Menendez offered me marriage. I thought if I agreed it would give me my freedom, and I could run away and find Ah Tsong."
What did you do then?" "Well, I was frightened, you understand, and I told him to find out if all was well with my husband. He came back and told me that Colin was writing. But the sound had alarmed me very much." "Oh, and now perhaps you will tell me, Mrs. Camber, when and where your husband first met Colonel Menendez?" Every vestige of colour fled from the girl's face.
Do as you will, for other than this you can have neither truce nor friendship with me." Such were the Adelantado's words, as reported by a bystanders his admiring brother-in-law and that they contain an implied assurance of mercy has been held, not only by Protestants, but by Catholics and Spaniards. The report of Menendez himself is more brief, and sufficiently equivocal:
Mildred," he turned to his wife, still speaking cheerily but begging for absolution with his tired eyes, "Señora Menéndez Menéndez y García is the whole name sent her compliments and said to tell you she would 'guard your daughter as her own. Doesn't that make you feel better about it?" "She can defend her from bandits, I suppose?"
Here Menendez landed and took possession of the country in the name of the King of Spain. While cannon boomed and trumpets blew he stepped on shore followed by his officers and gentlemen. In all the gay trappings of knighthood, with many-coloured banners fluttering in the breeze, they marched. Then as they advanced another procession came toward them.
