"Dear Papa and Charles returned already!" cried Mrs Cowper, peering through the Venetians. "Fly, Mamma! Charley, Charley, come and see whether you approve of my gown!" Lady Cinnamond fled, in answer to the sonorous shout of "Rosa! Rosita! Sita!" which pealed through the house, and Captain Cowper entered from the verandah. "Stunning!" he breathed fervently.
This was Rosita's first reflection. A troop often passed up and down the valley, but never came near the rancho, which, as already stated, was far from the main road. What business could the soldiers be upon, to lead them out of their usual track? Rosita asked herself these questions; then ran into the house and asked her mother.
"But I have great appreciation and I am dying to hear it," said Demorest, trying to laugh. "Well, poor one, you look so. But you shall lif till another time," said Dona Rosita, with a mock courtesy, gliding with Joan away.

Mary hurried into another room by a glass door, and Louis heard her speaking Spanish, and a languid reply; then returning, she beckoned to him to advance, whispering, 'Don't be surprised, these are the usual habits.

Dona Rosita wheeled upon him with an inquiring little look.

"He took a couple of shots at my instrument a while ago from up yonder in the sagebrush when I had stepped aside for a moment." The sheriff gazed at the hillside. "A few hombres around here will bear watching," said he.
