"Remember who you're dealing with!" she exclaimed. "Don't think that I'm a provincial or a soldier's querida! In my house in Manila the alfereces don't eater, they wait at the door." "Oho, Excelentísima Señora! Alfereces don't enter, but cripples do like that one ha, ha, ha!" Had it not been for the rouge, Doña Victorian would have been seen to blush.
In the shade of a high remaining piece of the ancient mudbrick wall, three Mexicans, with cigarettes and sombreros, and gaudy as tulips in their striped serapes, were gambling, sleepily, at cards: from one of the little houses came the sleepy tinkling of a mandolin muy querida.
I tell yoh many times we go on one ranch my brother Tomas says she's be mine. We lives there in fine house weeth mooch flowers, yoh not so moch as lif' one finger for work, querida mia. Yoh theenk I not be trus', me, Ramon what loves yoh?" "No hurt for swears what I tells," Annie-Many-Ponies stepped back from him a pace, distrust creeping into her voice. "All right." Ramon moved nearer.
One can guess what a fire of passion smoulders within her. My uncle was in perfection that evening. From time to time he discarded his philosophic calm in order to take a look at us and reply in Spanish to his fair friend's questions. He addressed her as "querida," in that indulgent tone which is peculiar to him, like a pasha who is signifying his approbation.
My thoughts stayed behind, as I moved on, and the words, with their soft inflection, would recur dreamily to me, again and again muy querida; alas! muy querida.
The ball had pierced the heart of the parent through the body of her offspring. By this time a party of Spanish soldiers had surrounded the hut, one of whom, kneeling before the low door, pointed his musket into it. The Indian, who had seen his wife and child thus cruelly shot down before his face, now fired his rifle, and the man feel dead. "Siga mi Querida Bondia maldito."
Dost thou not know it? Dost thou not love me a little? Ay, Elena! I have not slept one hour since I saw thee." She raised her eyes to his face. The sadness still dwelt in their depths, but above floated the soft flame of love and trust. She had no coquetry in her straightforward and simple nature. "Yes," she whispered, "I love thee." "And thou art happy, querida mia?
"Come down, old sow!" she cried. "I'm going to smash that dirty mouth of yours! Querida of a battalion, filthy hag!" The Muse immediately disappeared from the window and was soon seen running down the stairs flourishing her husband's whip. Don Tiburcio interposed himself supplicatingly, but they would have come to blows had not the alferez arrived on the scene. "Ladies! Don Tiburcio!"
Everything drowsed, except the everlasting sun, pouring down ceaselessly his shriveling rays. Again, over and over, my mind dreamily repeated the words only eighteen, married, and dead: muy querida. The bells of the Mission are ringing, clear and strong, under the practiced hand of old Gregorio. Who can ring like he?
"Papa used to wish we had a brother; but I didn't care for one then, because he was just as good for a playmate. But now it is pleasant to have a brother." To Rosa, also, it was gratifying to have his love for her overflow upon what was dearest to her; and she would give him one of her sweetest smiles when he called her sister "Mignonne" or "Querida."
