"The toast is Miss Myra Rostrevor, the loveliest and most adorable girl in the world, and may her lover get his heart's desire," cried Don Carlos gaily, and drained his glass. "Thanks awfully!" said Tony. "It's frightfully good of you, my dear chap, not to take offence, and I feel sure you will be able to win Myra over."
Señor Standish, as he told you, fired at him and thought he had missed, but he had sorely wounded the brigand, and when I tackled Cojuelo afterwards, when he was endeavouring to prevent Miss Rostrevor from escaping, he collapsed and died at my feet. He will trouble us no more, señors, and I intend to claim his greatest treasure as my reward for having made an end to him."
You played wonderfully." "I am flattered and honoured, Miss Rostrevor," said Don Carlos, bowing low over her hand. "Praise from the most beautiful woman in England is praise indeed!" He kissed her finger-tips, and Myra was conscious of an unusual thrill as she involuntarily jerked her hand away.
"Do you assert that Don Carlos de Ruiz lied when he said you were willing to accept your freedom and leave the Señorita Rostrevor to me? Will you meet Don Carlos face to face and denounce him as a liar?" "Don Carlos must have misunderstood me," repeated Tony. "It er it isn't a question of calling him a liar. Look here, Cojuelo, what's the use of all this bluff and bluster?
He remembers, too, that when another woman's horse bolted with her a few weeks previously, Miss Rostrevor easily outdistanced him in pursuit of the runaway, brought the startled animal to a standstill, and rode off without waiting for a word of thanks from the scared rider.
Miss Rostrevor, as you are well aware, is engaged to be married to me. How dare you make love to my fiancée?" Don Carlos's eyebrows rose still higher, his lips twitched, and Tony Standish got the impression that it was only with difficulty he was refraining from laughing outright. That angered him, and his ruddy face became still redder.
If you were Spanish, my dear Standish, you would not complain of my making love to your betrothed unless you were unsure of her and were afraid of my winning her away from you. If you regard me as a dangerous rival, and the adorable Miss Rostrevor takes me seriously, and you are afraid " "That isn't the point, Don Carlos," hastily interposed Tony, beginning to regret having made so much fuss.

Don Carlos sprang to his feet with an exultant laugh. "You hear, señors!" he exclaimed. "I thought it would be more convincing if I left it to Miss Rostrevor to assure you the fantastic suggestion is without foundation. Now I am willing to answer any questions and tell you everything. Are you satisfied now?
Wait outside," he added in Spanish. He resumed his seat as the guards left the room, and Myra could see his eyes gleaming like black diamonds through the slits in his mask. "Well, how much will you take to set Miss Rostrevor at liberty?" inquired Tony impatiently, after a pause.
