Tourneysee was announced. "I am up to time," he said, smiling, as he entered. "With dramatic punctuality," said Ishmael, pointing to the clock on the mantel-piece, which was upon the stroke of three. "Yes," said the consul, smiling. "We have done a good stroke of business since we left you.
"On Thursday we can spend the morning in seeing whatever is interesting in the city and its suburbs, and in the evening you know we are engaged to dine with Mr. Tourneysee." "Exactly! But what shall we do on Friday?" "Continue our sight-seeing through the city in the morning, and have Mr. Tourneysee and the Senor Don " "Et cetera, to dine with us in the evening. Is that what you mean, Ishmael?"
In that more genial atmosphere his health improved so much that he entered moderately into the society of the capital, and renewed some of his old acquaintance. He found that Philip Tourneysee had succeeded at last in winning the heart of the pretty Creole widow, Senora Donna Eleanora Pacheco, to whom he had been married a year.
Miss Tourneysee was engaged for the next three sets, but would be happy to dance the fourth with Mr. Worth. At that moment the partner to whom she was engaged for the quadrille, then forming, came up to claim her hand, and she arose and slightly courtesied to Judge Merlin and Ishmael Worth, and walked away with her companion.
"Do you know" inquired Miss Tourneysee, with a little curiosity to ascertain whether there was any mutual enmity between Burghe and Ishmael "do you know who that Captain Burghe is that danced the last quadrille with me?"
On seeing the carriage draw up and stop before the gate of this aristocratic residence, the young consul suddenly changed color and said: "This is the palace of the Senora Donna Eleanora Pacheco, Countess de la Santa Cruz." "You know this lady?" inquired the judge. Mr. Tourneysee bowed.
