A violent storm of thunder and lightning, apparently just above our heads, woke us at six o'clock this morning. Torrents of rain followed, and continued to fall until we dropped our anchor at Rosario, at 8.45 a.m., just as we were in the middle of breakfast, in our cozy little stern cabin.
Meanwhile Rosario with her heart torn and bleeding, unable to shed tears, unable to be at peace or rest, transpierced by grief as by a sharp sword, with her thoughts passing swiftly from the world to God and from God to the world, bewildered and half-crazed, her hands clasped, her bare feet resting on the floor was kneeling, late in the evening, in her own room, beside her bed, on the edge of which she rested her burning forehead, in darkness, in solitude, and in silence.
When at last he dismounted and the kerchief was taken from his eyes he found himself in a little pocket of the hills in front of an old log cabin. Jeff stayed with him. The others rode away. But not till they had him safely tied to a heavy table leg within the hut. "You're to make ready for a trip to town, señorita." "When?" "At once," Rosario answered. "By orders of Señor MacQueen."
This had been the background of Paul's meditation, which only threw into stronger relief the face and figure that moved before him as persistently as it had once before in the twilight of his room at Rosario.
With the car in the condition in which it was, they doubted whether it would be possible to travel over the rough roads intervening between themselves and the mine. On the other hand, Rosario was not far off, and on a smooth, hard highway. If the information of Buck Bradley's friend was correct, and there was no reason to doubt it, the regulars were camped at Rosario guarding the line.
"Scold me, dear aunt, for no doubt I deserve it," replied Pepe, who was beginning to accustom himself to the kindnesses of his father's sister. "No, it is only a piece of advice. These gentlemen, I am sure, will agree that I am in the right." Rosario was listening with her whole soul.
As Buck Bradley had surmised, no attempt had been made to wreck the track beyond, the insurrectos having counted, seemingly, on stopping the dash for the Esmeralda by their ambush in the wood. "Consarn their yellow hides," grunted Pete, "that shows they kep' closer tabs on us then we knew. I reckon they was scared to follow us to Rosario, thinking, like we did, that the regulars was there.
We are still domiciled there, but it will surprise you to learn that a most undesirable person is there also. In short, sir, that the woman Anita Rosario, the cause of all the trouble, is again an inmate of the house; and, what is more remarkable still, this time by Zuilika's own request." "What's that? My dear Major, you amaze me!
Rosario was still standing in the same place, but he was watching them intently. "He is looking after us, but he has not moved," Arnold announced. "It is better for him that he stays there," Mrs. Weatherley said softly. "Please come." At the further end of the apartment there was a bend to the left. Mrs.
Then I saw that one end of it was partly glazed off, and inside sat a young man in his shirt-sleeves with his back to the door. In reply he called out, 'That you, Rosario? and I stood silent, taken somewhat aback. There was only one Rosario in Simla, and he was a subordinate in my own office. Again the hateful need to explain.
