The complacency of the Council of Todos Santos may be accounted for when it is understood that on the day the firm of Hurlstone & Keene was really begun under the title of Mr. and Mrs. Hurlstone, Richard had prevailed upon the Alcalde to allow him to add the piquant Dona Isabel also to the firm under the title of Mrs. Keene.
En aquella isla qui sieron poblar, porq es muy abundãte de todos los mantenimientos, y començaron a hazer vn fuerte, y hizierõ fuera del vna yglesia, dopusieron el niño Iesus, y la llamarõ del nombre de Iesus: y la isla la llaman sant Miguel, porque se entro enella el dia de su Aparicion.
"I don't pretend to fathom the befogged brains of Todos Santos; but as far as I can understand their grown-up child's play, they are making believe this unfortunate Mr. Hurlstone, who may be dead for all we know, is in revolt against the United States Government, which is supposed to be represented by Senor Perkins and the Excelsior think of that!"
There was a breath of spring in the soft morning air of Todos Santos a breath so subtle and odorous that it penetrated the veil of fog beyond the bay, and for a moment lingered on the deck of a passing steamer like an arresting memory.
In fact, the gentle Mission of Todos Santos had hitherto presented no field for the good Father's exalted ambition, nor the display of his powers as a zealot. And here was a splendid opportunity.

DON PEDRO. ¡Tú quedarte soltera! ¡Jesús qué desatino! Primero te casaría con un bajá de tres colas, cuanto más que el Sr. D. Eduardo es muy buen partido por todos títulos.... DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Qué dice usted? DON PEDRO. De familia muy noble.... DOÑA MATILDE. Eso para mí es tan indiferente como el que fuera inclusero. Para mí no. DON PEDRO. Y que será muy rico cuando herede a su tío....
Know that to-morrow with the rising of the sun I have to awake and saddle the beasts, and fare forth into the alkali with party of gringoes." "That's all right. That's what we came to talk to you about, Juan," said Bellew. He bent low and pushed his face almost into the Mexican's brown and sleepy countenance. "Do you know me!" he grated out. "Todos Santos! Caramba! It is the Senor Bellew!"
Without apparent reflection he entered, followed the passage a few steps until it turned abruptly; turning with it, he found himself in the body of the Mission Church of Todos Santos.
CASERO. Pero repito que no se juega conmigo ... dígaselo usted así, y que si esta noche no me baja los tres duros, mañana pongo a ustedes en la calle con todos sus cachivaches.... DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Tratar de ese modo a una señora? DON EDUARDO. ¡Matilde! ¿Se fué ya? DOÑA MATILDE. Ya se fué. DOÑA MATILDE. Sí, buena es la tranquilidad que vamos disfrutando por cierto.
Far better that the ship which takes her away should bring back my successor and one more worthy Todos Santos than I." He stopped, his eyes dimmed, he buried his face in his hands. "You have done right, Father Esteban," said Hurlstone, gently putting his arm round the priest's shoulders, "and I swear to you your secret is as safe as if you had never revealed it to me.
