He walked back and forth for some minutes in an excited manner, and then, bursting into a loud laugh, he cried out, "Carrambo, comrade! you are a tactician! The great Conde himself would not have shown such strategy. Santisima Virgen! it is the very master-stroke of design; and I promise you, camarado, it shall have speedy execution." "Why delay? Why not set about it at once?"
Almost simultaneously with the leader, the Téméraire and Neptune plunged into the line, the former closing with the Bucentaure and the latter with the Santisima Trinidad ahead. Other ships soon thrust into the terrific artillery combat which centered around the leaders in a confused mingling of friend and foe.
"Vaya!" rejoined a Mexican; "we should meet the Navajoes just when we had got to their town! Carrai! that would never do, amigo. There wouldn't many, of us get back again. Santisima! No." "We ain't obleeged to meet them," argued the first speaker. "They're not a-goin' to stop at thur town when they find the nigger hain't been back." "It is true," said Seguin, "they will not remain there.
DON PEDRO. Vaya, vaya, esos escrúpulos se quitan con señalar un día de esta semana para que se tomen los dichos. DON EDUARDO. ¡No sé lo que pasa por mí! DON PEDRO. A la verdad que yo no me esperaba tampoco ... la niña, como le dije a usted, es muy dócil, eso es otra cosa, y muy bien criada, pero.... DON EDUARDO. Pero señor, por la Virgen Santísima, si ella apenas hace un cuarto de hora....
The whole people taste the luxury of a sentimental sorrow. Yet in these heavy days it is not the Redeemer whose sufferings and death most nearly touch the hearts of the faithful. It is Santisima Maria who is worshipped most. It is the Dolorous Mother who moves them to tears of tenderness. The presiding deity of these final days of meditation is Our Lady of Solitude.
Nelson, uncertain of Villeneuve's place in the line and anxious to prevent escape northward, steered for a gap ahead of the Santisima Trinidad, as if to threaten the van. But at 12:00 noon, as the first shots were fired at the Royal Sovereign, flags were broken from all ships, and Villeneuve's location revealed.
Little Francisca kept on chattering. "That is St. Martin's bridge. A girl jumped into the water last year. She was not a lady. She was in service. She was tired of living because she was in love. They found her three weeks afterwards; but, Santisima Maria! she was good for nothing then." Our little maid was too young to have sympathy for kings or servant girls who die for love.
The French Admiral had formed his main battle line of 21 ships, French and Spanish intermingled, with the Santisima Trinidad in the center and his flagship Bucentaure next; the remaining 12 under the Spanish Admiral Gravina constituted a separate squadron stationed to windward to counter an enemy concentration, which was especially expected upon the rear.
And the poor woman, knowing that they could not hear her voice, began to wail and tear her hair, crying to God and to the saints in heaven! "Maria santísima! He is going to his death, the death of him, I say! Reina y soberana! Both my boys, and the little one, too!" What a curse had settled on her family! That pig of a sea would swallow them all, as it had killed her husband!
Here a petate, or a palm hat there a broken olla; a stringless bandolon, the fragments of a guitar crushed under the angry heel, or some flimsy articles of female dress cuffed into the dust; leaves of torn books misas, or lives of the Santisima Maria the labours of some zealous padre; old paintings of the saints, Guadalupe, Remedios, and Dolores of the Nino of Guatepec rudely torn from the walls and perforated by the sacrilegious bayonet, flung into the road, kicked from foot to foot the dishonoured penates of a conquered people.
