For which cause, indeed, those of his association ventured on every kind of licentiousness, and practised every kind of magic, fabricating love philtres and spells, and all the other arts of sorcery, as though in pursuit of divine mysteries.

"Oh, there is your brother's tent! I see there is a light burning, so I suppose he has not gone to bed yet." "All the better," Matteo said. "We shall get our hot wine all the quicker. My teeth are chattering so, I hardly dare speak for fear of biting my tongue." Francis was warmly welcomed by Rufino Giustiniani.
He was well known, to those posted there, as the bearer of Pisani's orders, and as soon as it became dark, Rufino Giustiniani, who was in command, ordered a dozen men to carry the light gondola across the island to the Malamocco channel. While this was being done, Francis went to Rufino's tent, and informed him of what was going on in Venice, and that the whole fleet would set sail on the morrow.
Again the eyes of the child, or her instincts, are keener and quicker than those of the parent; or, at all events, she is the first to speak, announcing a recognition. "Oh, papa!" she exclaims, still in whispers, "it's that horrid man who used to come to our house at Assuncion him mamma so much disliked the Senor Rufino."
Ah! the chance I've let escape me! Such an opportunity for settling old scores with Senor Rufino! Well, he and I may meet yet; and if we do, one of us will have to stay on the spot where that encounter takes place, or be carried from it feet foremost.

"And he is quite right, Maria," Matteo said indignantly.
Still, he seems in doubt as to what answer he should make, or what course he ought to pursue in the business between them. "What would you have me do, Senor Rufino?" he asks in a patois of Spanish, which many Chaco Indians can speak; himself better than common, from his long and frequent intercourse with Halberger's family. "What want you?" "I don't want you to do anything," rejoins the vaqueano.
Foiled in his wicked intent, and failing to discover whither his intended victims had fled, Francia employed for the finding of them one of his minions this man of most ill repute, Rufino Valdez.
The lad is so willing and active, that I forget sometimes that he is not an old sea dog like myself, accustomed to sleep with one eye open, and to go without sleep altogether for days if necessary. So you need not hurry over your breakfast. The girls are dying to hear your adventures." As he took his breakfast, Francis gave the girls an account of his expedition. "And so, you saw Rufino!"
