''Certainly, replied Pepito, handing him very unconcernedly a small package; 'I brought more than you told me, and, in fact, I might have brought a mule-load if you had wanted so many. ''Adéle! cried Mr. Livermore, overcome with delight, as he rushed into my room, 'Adéle, HE HAS FOUND IT!
At last the Doctor turned to Pepito and made another very grand bow which burst the last button off his waistcoat. "Well, of course if the caballero is afraid " he began with a bland smile. "Afraid!" screamed Pepito. "I am afraid of nothing on earth. I am the greatest matador in Spain. With this right hand I have killed nine hundred and fifty-seven bulls."
''We were dying with anxiety to see you, he said, as I entered; 'walk into the other room, you will find Adéle there. ''Well, Mr. Rideau, said she, with intense anxiety visible on her countenance, 'what passed between those two men? ''Little of importance. Pedro offered Pepito four hundred dollars if he would divulge the particulars of his journey; to which offer Pepito has acceded.
If you wished to stop all bullfighting here after to-morrow, you could do it, couldn't you?" "Yes," said Don Enrique proudly "I could." "Well that is what I ask of you if I win my wager," said John Dolittle. "If I can do more with angry bulls than can Pepito de Malaga, you are to promise me that there shall never be another bullfight in the Capa Blancas so long as you are alive to stop it.
But it was not there, and as he recalled that the last time he had seen that weapon it was being ridden up and down the gallery by Pepito, the infant son of Bautista, the tortilio-maker, he blushed, and then contented himself with frowning upon the intruder. But the stranger's air, though irreverent, was decidedly peaceful.
By this time Derrick had performed the surgical operation on Pepito, and was about to set him down, when the lady stopped and said: "What is the matter with my dog, señor?" "It was," began Derrick, in Spanish; then, as he did not know the Spanish word, he concluded, in English, "a thorn." Donna Elvira started, but so slightly that the involuntary movement of surprise was unnoticed by Derrick.
As he did so, the white-haired lady came, with stately step, round the bend; she glanced at Derrick, but passed him and went to Don José. "I want to speak to you," she said. "But who is that man, and what is he doing with Pepito?" Don José explained. Donna Elvira spoke for a few minutes longer; then she turned and walked towards the house.
Opening the door, the Mexican appeared, dressed in a new suit, and evidently not a little proud of his external improvements. He bowed politely to Mr. Livermore and myself, and then bending before Adéle, took her hand and raised it with true Mexican grace, to his lips. ''You arrive, Pepito, said Adéle, 'at the very moment we are talking about you. 'Pepito again bowed to the lady.
''Good heavens! dearest Arthur, would it be less imprudent for that man Percival to find me here? I shudder to think of ever again meeting him; and moreover, by flattering this Pepito and pretending to place entire confidence in him, I shall win him to a devoted submission to my every wish.
''Oh! never fear, Adéle; your presence and your care will keep me up. I shall gain strength by change of air and scene. 'Adéle was, probably, about to protest against such a proof of his attachment, when she was interrupted by a knock at the door. ''It is Pepito, said I. My conjecture proved correct.
