I fear it is true what they have told me. Santisima Virgen! how like " The phrase was left unfinished. The speaker had forgotten the presence of Josefa and the peon, and was delivering her thoughts in too loud a soliloquy. The unfinished sentence had involuntarily escaped from her lips. Suddenly checking herself, she looked sharply towards the two.
Much as this pleased Carmen, it seemed to her that the child's prayers could not be wholly valid unless uttered in Spanish; for Spanish was heaven's own tongue, la lengua de Dios, el idioma de Dios; and she resolved to teach her to say the Salve Maria and the Padre Nuestro in Castilian also, her own favorite prayer to the Virgin, beginning with the words, "Madre santisima, toda dulce y hermosa." . . .
"Yes; you may well taunt me with your false priest, you unfeeling wretch! Oh, Santisima Madre!" continued she, dropping back into her chair, and pressing her head between her hands. "Beguiled beggared almost unsexed! and yet I never loved the man! It was not love, but madness madness and fascination!"
Yet the fanciful legends about the casting of the bells give way to stern fact when they are examined. Upon the first bell is the inscription: "Ave María Santisima. S. Francisco. De Paula Rvelas, me fecit." The second: "Cast by G.H. Holbrook, Medway, Mass., 1828." The third: "Ave Maria, Sn Jvan Nepomvseno, Rvelas me fecit, A.D., '95." The fourth: "Fecit Benitvs a Regibvs, Ano D. 1830, Sn. Frano."

Later I heard him and Ceferiana agreeing that I was "muy valiente" October 25. In spite of the agua finecada and the boiled towel, Mrs. T 's cook has developed cholera.
In the allied force there were four three-decked ships, of from one hundred to one hundred and thirty guns, all Spanish, of which one, the "Santísima Trinidad," was the largest vessel then afloat.
His underclothing separated from his flesh with a wrench which made him shiver. The light of the candle, with its trembling flame, drew from the shadows a prevailing tone of red. The women began to wail. Margalida's mother, forgetting all prudence, clasped her hands and raised her eyes with an expression of terror. Reina Santísima! Febrer wondered at these exclamations.
They played monte on their spread blankets, staking their tobacco. They cursed, and cried "Carrajo!" when they lost, and thanks to the "Santisima Virgin" when the cards were pulled out in their favour! Their language was a Spanish patois; their voices were sharp and disagreeable. At a short distance from these was the second group that attracted my attention.
And as for Don Manuel, he goes mad over them, like an Italian maestro over his favorite pupil. "Hombre, hombre!" he cries to the negro, "what a cock! By Heaven, what a couple! Ave Maria santisima! did one ever see such spirit? Santisima Trinidad! is there such fighting in all Matanzas?"
