We immediately entered the house, and Uncle Richard sent off a messenger to the Monteverdes, where he supposed Juan would be found. While we had dinner, and prepared for our ride, Paul took some food, and was again ready to start when the horses were brought round. Dona Maria was much agitated on hearing the news. "Do nothing rash, my dear Richard," she said to her husband.
"This is indeed bad news; I will go back to my father and tell him what you say, Paul," I answered. "But do you think it would be possible to rescue Doctor Cazalla and the Monteverdes?" Paul replied that they had already, from what he could learn, been sent out of the city, and were on their way to Bogota.
"Den come on with me, for I hab much to tell you, and we may be discovered if seen speaking here." I said that I had to go to the market and obtain some food, and that I wished to inquire about my uncle, Dr Cazalla, and the Monteverdes. "Buy de food, by all means, but do not venture to make furder inquiries; I can tell you all you want to know," he said.
My father was greatly grieved when he heard that Doctor Cazalla and the Monteverdes had been arrested and sent off to Bogota. He was too well acquainted with General Murillo's bloodthirsty nature not to feel the greatest possible fear for their safety.
We had a long ride before us in the dark, the road being none of the best, but our steeds were sure-footed, and we were well accustomed to them. We had got to some distance, when we heard the tramp of horses coming along a road which led from the Monteverdes' house, and Dona Dolores, with her father and four domestics, all armed, came up.
