"Why, what is the matter with you?" "Did you not say it was midnight?" "Yes." "Then But is it already midnight?" Rosario made an effort to speak, then shook her head, on which the weight of a world was pressing. "Something is the matter with you; you have something on your mind," said her mother, fixing on her daughter her penetrating eyes.
She had barely touched it, however, when there came a sound of swift footsteps and young Burnham-Seaforth lurched out of the drawing-room door and joined her. He was in a state of great excitement and was breathing hard. "Anita Miss Rosario!" he began, plucking her by the sleeve and uplifting a pale, boyish face he was not yet twenty-two to hers with a look of abject misery.

Rosario, like Buenos Ayres, is built in squares.
