"Well, for my part," said the crone, "meat's my grievance: all the best bits go to the butties, and the pieces with bone in are chopped off for the colliers' wives." "Dame, when will the door open?" asked a very little palefaced boy. "I have been here all this morn, and never broke my fast." "And what do you want, chilt?"
She heard the laughter and prattle of the children in the house, and she thought of that bright boy, playing with his young friends not far away. "Where can we go?" she asked, in the same guarded voice. "With Omas," was the prompt reply; "hide in wigwam of Omas. Nobody hurt palefaced friend of Omas." It was a trying situation.
It was a repetition of dinner, which the family had taken according to custom at two o'clock. The wife of Don Jose, and her maiden sister and three daughters, pretty, palefaced, black-eyed girls, with hair like the raven's wing, were present, as were the family priest and two gentlemen, cousins of our host. We first had an insipid kind of soup, and then their principal dish, called puchero.
The girl glances down to her breast, upon which lie several pendants, sustained by a massive chain of gold passing around her neck. Then she holds out her arms to show bracelets upon the wrists, beset with pearls and precious stones, that no doubt once clasped other wrists than hers those of palefaced doncellas dwelling in Santiago or Salta.
He who at the epoch with which we are now occupied was deemed greatest and wisest among the sons of earth, at whose threats men quailed, at whose vast and intricate schemes men gasped in palefaced awe, has left behind him the record of his interior being.
