"That does honour to your penetration," said the Spaniard, with a disdainful smile. "Well, then, since I have already demanded the hand of Dona Rosarita for the illustrious senator Tragaduros y Despilfarro, of course I cannot now take his place." "But why, senor, did you not make the demand on your own account?"
Your voice I could hear, and there was something in it that charmed my soul something that I had never heard till that moment." "I have never forgotten the service you rendered us," said the young girl; "but why recall those times? they are long past." "Long past! no, not to me, Rosarita that scene appears to me as if it had happened yesterday.
"And you could never learn the names of these brave, generous, and devoted men?" asked Dona Rosarita. "Not at the moment," continued Gayferos; "only it appeared strange to me, that the youngest of the three hunters spoke to me of Don Estevan, Diaz, Oroche, and Baraja, as though he knew them perfectly."
The Andalusian type has lost nothing in the northern provinces of Mexico. Its purity of outline is there associated with freshness of colour, and this happy mixture of graces was exhibited in the beautiful countenance of Rosarita.
Rosarita uttered a faint cry. Fabian turned, and remained mute with astonishment. Leaning quietly upon his long carbine, stood Bois-Rose, a few paces from them, contemplating, with a look of deep tenderness the two lovers. It was the realisation of his dream in the isle of Rio Gila. "Oh, my father!" cried Fabian sadly; "do you forgive me for suffering myself to be vanquished?"
"And this will of your father is to throw you into the arms of a ruined prodigal, who has no other aim than to build up the fortune he has squandered in dissipation, and satisfy his ambitious desires? Say, Rosarita, say! is this will in consonance with your own? Does your heart agree to it?
But why dwell longer upon such scenes? happiness is so transitory and impalpable that it will not bear either analysis or description. "There remains but one obstacle now," resumed the hunter. "This sweet lady's father." "To-morrow he will expect his son," interrupted Rosarita, who stood by, listening with singular interest to the dialogue. "Then let me bless mine," said the Canadian.
Oh! my God!" cried he, striking the ground with his heel, "perhaps it was himself!" "Pray God rather to protect you, you will need all his grace!" cried a rough voice, which caused Rosarita to utter a cry of terror as she saw a dark form that of a man rushing forward and flinging himself upon Tiburcio.
You may remain here, where you will have an easy part to play, in making yourself agreeable to the fair Rosarita, while I am braving the perils of this unknown frontier. As for Cuchillo, if he attempt to play the traitor with me a second time, I shall take care to be a little more prompt in punishing him.
The Chaplain begged the haciendado to come to him for an instant, upon some business he had to communicate to him. Don Augustin quitted the apartment, saying that he should speedily return. Gayferos and the young girl were now left alone; the former observed her some moments in silence, and with a delight he could scarcely conceal, saw that Rosarita trembled beneath the folds of her silk scarf.
