"Of course she loved you?" "Ah! that truly did she else why should she have consented to marry me? What was I? A poor cibolero at times a hunter and trapper of beavers, just as I am now? I was possessed of nothing but my horse and traps; whiles he Carrambo! senor, proud ricos pretended to her hand!" It is possible that my countenance may have expressed incredulity.
