Our welcome was such as might have been expected: Norah was received as a daughter, and Don Carlos and I were treated as heroes; and by none more so than by Isabella Monterola, who has since, to my great happiness, become my wife. My cousin, Colonel Acosta, as I will still call him, was truly mourned for. "Poor fellow!" said Don Fernando; "the loss is ours.
Among them was a very beautiful girl, whom I at first took to be one of my cousins, and whom I addressed accordingly; but after I had been there a couple of days, she laughingly told me that, though she should be very happy to be a relative, she was not so in reality: that her name was Isabella Monterola, and that she was a ward of Don Fernando.
I then told her for I had never before done so how much I admired Don Fernando's young ward, Isabella Monterola. "Perhaps, if I return from the wars crowned with laurels, she'll have me," I said, laughing. She sighed, and the colour, I observed, mounted to her brow. "Don Carlos Serrano has other sons besides the one I met under the name of Colonel Acosta," I remarked.
