With regard to Roblado, the cibolero had particular reasons for disliking him very particular reasons; and but that the former was still ignorant of a certain fact, he had quite as good a reason for reciprocating the dislike. Up to this moment Roblado knew nothing of the cibolero, who for the most part of his time was absent from the valley.
Several games were yet carried on upon the plain, but they were without general interest. The splendid feat of the cibolero had eclipsed all lesser exhibitions for the time; besides, a number of the head men were out of humour. Vizcarra was sad, and Roblado savage jealous of Catalina. The alcalde and his assistant were in a vexed state, as both had bet heavy sums on the red cock.
Their interview will last long enough for that. We shall take them in the very moment of their bliss. Hell and furies! to think of it this low dog this butcher of buffaloes to thwart me in my purposes! But patience, Roblado! patience! to-night to-night! A knocking at the door. Sergeant Gomez was admitted. "Gomez, get ready twenty of your men! picked fellows, do you hear?
The aspect of these men, that would have been displeasing to almost any one else, satisfied Roblado. They were just the men for his work. He had seen both before, but had never scrutinised them till now; and, as he glanced at their bold swarthy faces and brawny muscular frames, he thought to himself, "These are just the fellows to deal with the cibolero." A formidable pair they looked.
The warriors no longer utter their dread cry. Their soldier-enemies are destroyed. Every cuarto has been cleared of its inmates, who lie in bleeding heaps over the patio and by the doors. No quarter has been given. All have been killed on the spot. No not all. There are two who survive two whose lives have been spared. Vizcarra and Roblado yet live!
"Consent, Roblado! it is the very thing I desire above all things. My mind will not be easy while she is here. We are both in danger if such a report should get in circulation. If it should reach certain ears, we are ruined are we not?" "Why, now there is some truth in what you say, Garcia's death must be reported, and the cause will be inquired into.
His forte lay in the seductive process. He made love a la Don Giovanni, and carried hearts in what he deemed a legitimate manner; whereas Roblado resorted to any means that would lead most directly to the object force, if necessary and safe. Of the two Roblado was the coarser villain.
"Now, neither this girl nor her mother ever saw the guera before, and who does captain think sent them, and the carreta too?" "Who says Vicenza?" "The senorita, captain." "Ha!" sharply exclaimed Roblado. "Vicenza is sure of that." "More than that, captain.
I see I see the Padre is the `patron' of these two ruffians. They have told him something, else why should he be off to the Presidio so early? News from them and then Roblado starting directly after to seek them! Clear clear they have discovered my hiding-place!" After a pause: "What if they have reached the ravine in my absence? Let me see.
I averted them for a moment only a moment; and when I looked again he was gone! So quickly had he retired, that I was inclined to think it was only a fancy that there had been none and that my dream had produced the illusion!" "That is likely enough," said Roblado, desirous of comforting his companion; "likely enough nothing more natural.
