"Ah," she sighed, then laughed unconcernedly. "I'm afraid I've been very naughty, Señor." Then suddenly recollecting her mission, she exclaimed: "I almost forgot why I came here this morning. I'm the bearer of Padre Antonio's gift and greetings to the Señora. It's her birthday, you know." "Her birthday? I wonder she still dares have them!" exclaimed Dick.
He was gradually bringing the unhappy woman into what he called "a heavenly mind" the influence of her daughters, he was sure, would be that of worldly affections and sinful liberty. And Rachela obeyed the confessor so faithfully, that the Senora was almost in a state of solitary confinement. Every day her will was growing weaker, her pathetic obedience more childlike and absolute.
"It appears that, excited by the bad advices of foreigners, the inhabitants of Monterey obliged the gallant governor to leave his fireside. This warlike officer found the means of forwarding dispatches to Senora, while he himself, uniting a handful of brave and faithful citizens, landed in the bay of St. Francisco, in order to punish the rebels.
When Cardenio heard her say she was called Dorothea, he showed fresh agitation and felt convinced of the truth of his former suspicion, but he was unwilling to interrupt the story, and wished to hear the end of what he already all but knew, so he merely said: "What! is Dorothea your name, senora? I have heard of another of the same name who can perhaps match your misfortunes.
The Senora, Isabel and Jack sat together; the Senora dozed a little, but not enough to lose consciousness of Jack's presence and Jack's voice. The father, happy, and yet acutely anxious, went to and fro between his children and his study. Antonia and Dare were in the myrtle walk or under the fig-tree. This hour was the blossoming time of their lives.
Something portentous was about to happen, or had happened. Flores's wife, however, showed no surprise, but accepted The Spider's presence in her usual listless manner. To her he addressed himself as she made coffee and placed a chair for him. They talked of Boca -and once The Spider spoke of Boca's mother, whom the Señora Flores had known in Mexico.
"Don Felipe," replied Señora with just the suggestion of a smile, "all things are possible with a woman." "But why did she dance?" he asked. "I don't know; neither does any one else. They say she received three thousand pesos in gold." "Three thousand pesos?" echoed Felipe. "What did she do with them?" "Ah! that's the mystery! What did she do with them?" answered Señora.
Whenever he called her his "señora," or his "worthy mistress," she could not restrain a gesture of satisfaction; and it was to him that she poured out her complaints against her husband's misdeeds. Her affection for him was that of a dame of ancient chivalry for her private squire.
Ramona's cheeks blazed with a disproportionate indignation. But she bethought herself, "Ah, the Senora may have sent her to call Alessandro!" She rose, went to the door of Felipe's room, and looked in. The Senora was sitting in the chair by Felipe's bed, with her eyes closed. Felipe was dozing. The Senora opened her eyes, and looked inquiringly at Ramona.
"And where were you that you didn't telegraph?" asked Doña Victorina. "When we were married we telegraphed to the Peñinsula." "Señora, for the past two years I have been in the northern part of Europe, in Germany and Russian Poland." Doctor De Espadaña, who until now had not ventured upon any conversation, thought this a good opportunity to say something.
