And this in spite of Suárez, whose formal subtilties do not merit the name of philosophy. Our metaphysics, if we can be said to possess such a thing, has been metanthropics, and our metaphysicians have been philologists or, rather, humanists in the most comprehensive sense of the term.
With a species of divination, she guessed somewhat the nature of his reverie. The notion stung her into a sort of fury. To quell it, she must speak again. "Will you tell me now what it was that Suarez found out?" she murmured. The doctor quickly appreciated her need of material for further thought.
She instantly fastened on to the theory that the Indians paid their first nocturnal visit to the ship in the belief that the vessel would prove as easy a prey as the castaways, whereas Suarez must have fallen beneath their stones and rude hatchets if he had attempted to board the Kansas in broad daylight.
I think you know me well enough to believe that I would not mislead you, and I am quite in earnest when I tell you that we shall drive off these unfortunate wretches with comparative ease. Why, I had it in my heart to pity them a moment ago." She was glad he misunderstood the cause of her agitation. "Suarez is certainly rather dramatic," she said, smiling wistfully.
The mere sound of her name on his lips was music. He told her to go, yet held her hand a willing prisoner. His words had the sound of a prayer, but it was the orison of a knight to his lady. He bade her fear not, while he trembled a little himself, though she well knew it was not fear which shook him. Neither of them paid heed to the presence of Suarez.
A lamp, dimly lighting the gangway, revealed her face. Suarez thought he had to deal with a mad-woman. The dog, standing by her side, sniffed at him gingerly, but a muttered "Be quiet, Joey!" prevented any outburst, every fox-terrier being a born conspirator. "What do you wish me to do, señorita?" began Suarez, thinking to placate her until he could obtain assistance.
As the father expected no justice while that king reigned, he shut himself up till Zemin got possession of the throne, on which he so published his wrongs about the city, that 50,000 of the people joined with him in demanding justice. Fearing evil consequences, Zemin caused Suarez to be apprehended and delivered up to the people, by whom he was stoned to death.
Herein Christobal did himself an injustice, and Courtenay a greater one, as he was fated soon to learn. When Elsie heard of the duplicity practised by Suarez it was good to see the hot indignation which reddened her brow.
Duarte Pacheco happened to be off Coulan when he learnt the arrival of Suarez; and knowing that his own command was ended so soon as the new captain-general should arrive at Cochin, determined to attempt some exploits while he remained master of his own conduct.
In pursuance of this resolution, on Tuesday the 15th of September, two days after the slaughter of the commissary Suarez, the viceroy gave orders to Diego Alvarez de Cueto, with a party of horse, to convey the children of the late Marquis Pizarro on board ship, and to remain in charge of them and the licentiate Vaca de Castro.
