Sandoval was to join Alvarado, sending seventy picked troops to support Cortez.
Instead of the former lively, chattering groups on the sidewalks were to be seen civil-guards making the students move on, and these latter issuing from the University silent, some gloomy, some agitated, to stand off at a distance or make their way home. The first acquaintance he met was Sandoval, but Basilio called to him in vain. He seemed to have been smitten deaf.
And after all, who is Victor Hugo? Is he to be compared at all with our modern " This peroration was cut short by the return of Makaraig with a despondent air and a bitter smile on his lips, carrying in his hand a note, which he offered silently to Sandoval, who read: "MY DOVE: Your letter has reached me late, for I have already handed in my decision, and it has been approved.
Sandoval, who had just returned from making calls in other boxes, also assured them that the decision had been favorable, that that very afternoon the Superior Commission had considered and approved it. Every one was jubilant, even Pecson having laid aside his pessimism when he saw the smiling Pepay display a note.
"Sandoval had warned against this De Leon?" asked Kennedy, evidently having in mind the anonymous telegram. For a time she was interesting. But I'm too old for that sort of thing. Besides, she always impressed me as though she had some ulterior motive, as though she was trying to get at something through me. I cut it all out." Kennedy nodded, but for a moment said nothing.
The sarcasm and grotesqueness of this idea won it ready acceptance, Sandoval being the first to applaud it, for he had long wished to see the interior of one of those establishments which at night appeared to be so merry and cheerful. Just as the orchestra struck up for the second act, the young men arose and left the theater, to the scandal of the whole house.
It was her turn to interrupt. "If Senor Sandoval says anything against me, he tells what is not the truth." In spite of Kennedy's grilling she was still mistress of herself. "You had better remember your own proverb," she retorted. "Don't believe anything you hear and only half you see." Kennedy snapped down the yellow telegram before her. It was a dramatic moment.
It would take an accountant and an investigator days, perhaps weeks, to trace out anything in them, if indeed it were worth while at all. Two glass doors opened at one end to two smaller private offices, one belonging evidently to Sandoval, the other to Barrios.
The opening in the causeway was at last filled choked up with ammunition wagons and guns, bales of rich goods, chests of gold, and the bodies of men and horses and over these the Spaniards made their way. Cortez had swum or waded across on his horse, and he rode on until he joined Sandoval and the remains of the advanced guard, who were checked at the third and last opening.
The dancing and feasting lasted two or three days, but one day exhausted my capacity for endurance. Soon after the wedding, a tiny baby sister of the bride died, and its father came to get permission to bury it in the Park cemetery. I asked if I could do anything to help them, and Sandoval said I was to make the dress and put it on the baby for them.
