About midday, in confirmation of the old Peruvian's words, the first of the expected spate revealed itself in a sudden acceleration of the current and a change in the appearance of the water, which became turbid with mud in suspension.
I say, looking across to Mrs. Steele, who is rolling the tiny treasure about in her palm. "At least," he says, "it is within the reach of a strong arm, and if a jewel begged is not generously given, it can be snatched out of a capricious hand, if only for safer keeping " and the Peruvian's deep eyes look into my half-averted face.
A faint flush passes over the Peruvian's face. "Did you hear? I was looking to see if it was in order when Madame Steele opened her window. I was waked very suddenly, you see, and my neighbour was shrieking that the boiler had broken and in a moment we would all be in Eternity. I thought of you, Fräulein " "In English, please," I say, "I can't follow you in German."
Peter meet you at dthe gate and say, 'You haf lif gude life, come into Heaven' you vill fery like look over your shoulder and say, 'Oh, Peter! vhere go all dthose nice leedle devils?" The Peruvian's last shot certainly diverts me from all finny creatures, and we sit down on a pile of lumber, and the Baron shows me his rings and seals tells me where each came from and the story attached.
With childish good faith I take the clumsy nut, but as I lift it to drink I notice a covert gleam of satisfaction in the Peruvian's eyes, and I realise in a flash that the cocoa shell is becoming a sort of a loving-cup for there was but one little place cut for drinking where first I essayed the draught and then the Baron.
"Vill you marry von qveer Megsican Eendian, Señorita?" I laugh at the funny conclusion and the Peruvian's excited face. "Monsieur," I say, "I'm told that nearly every man says 'I love you' to an average of eighteen women in a lifetime; he perhaps really cares at various times for three, and the rest do well to let the mistake pass unchallenged and soon forgotten.
