Holliwell, he's a first-class sin-buster, best I ever knowed." Morena laughed. He was beginning to enjoy his visitor. "Sin-buster?" "That's one name fer a parson. Well, sir, I guess Holliwell is plumb close to bein' a prize devil-twister." "Tell me how you first met him. It ought to be a good story." But the young man's face grew bleak at this. "It ain't a good story, sir," he said grimly.
Estevan, the Onor of a Conde, who is at present Vice-King of Peru; on the 19th, we came out of the Sierra Morena, and lodged that night at la Torre de Juan-Abad; on the 20th we lay at La Membrilla, and there stayed all day on Monday and Tuesday; the 22nd at Villarta: here rises the river Guadiana, that goes under ground seven leagues before.
So it passed, nor did I ask him if he hasted after his Morena, for heaven be thankt that she did pass by, though I thought not to live to say it. But I will take order with olde Mr Crosby, for olde men be tattlers more than any woman or is convenient. And so a great escape.
I very plain in my olde black silk new-laced all over with black silk gimp, Sam'l declaring I am very pretty in this, but I trust him not herein, he willing to save his Purse. One passage of Sam'l kissing the little black beauty, Mrs Deakin, that he do call his Morena, displeased me, she being known for a frolicsome jade.
But when Mathilde, chosen by Betty, came with her furtive step and treacherous eyes, Joan invented some duty for her. It occurred to her that Mathilde might be one of Betty's witnesses. For some time the girl's watchfulness and intrusions had become irritatingly noticeable. And Morena was Joan's only frequent and informal visitor. "Mathilde thinks I am that!"
She is divorcing me so that she can marry him." "But, Mr. Morena, I don't believe he will marry her now. He is tired of her. He is that kind of lover. He gets tired. Now he would like to marry me. He told me so. Perhaps if Betty knew that she might come back to you, without your branding her." Jasper was startled out of his vengeful stillness. "Prosper Gael wants to marry you? He has told you so?"
What I have been to you before I will be again, only, this time, we can love openly. Come back. "Jane," Morena spoke brokenly, "what does it mean?" "He built that cabin in Wyoming for her," said Joan, speaking as though Jasper had seen the cañon hiding-place and known its history, "and she didn't come. He brought me there on his sled. I was hurt. I was terribly hurt. He took care of me "
The part came second, she was there first. Morena, promise me you won't tell her who wrote the play." "Look here, Prosper, suppose you tell me what's wrong. Have you seen a ghost?" Prosper laughed; then, seeing Betty, her face a rigid question, he struggled to lay hands upon his self-control.
Talking of Spain, Myra, reminds me that Don Carlos has consented to be one of my yachting party for our Mediterranean trip in the winter, and has invited all of us to spend a week or so with him at his place, El Castillo de Ruiz, somewhere in the Sierra Morena." "Really! That will give me plenty of time to complete my conquest," commented Myra, her blue eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Obviously you have the equivalent of a Blarney Stone in Spain, Don Carlos," she commented with a laugh, looking up into the bold dark eyes that were regarding her with undisguised admiration. "Do you play much polo in your own country, señor?" "Alas, no!" Don Carlos answered. "My home is in the wilds of the Sierra Morena, Miss Rostrevor, and one has few opportunities for playing polo there.
