But there was in each some quality of manliness that drew them together in spite of themselves. Valencia found Pablo sitting on the porch. A rifle lay across his knees ready for emergencies. The deputies had ridden away to the other end of the valley that morning, but Menendez did not intend to be caught napping in case of their unexpected return. Miss Valdés smiled.
The territorial division most in favour among the inhabitants of the Havannah, is that of vuelta de arriba and de abaxo, east and west of the meridian of the Havannah. The first governor of the island who took the title of Captain-general was Don Pedro Valdes.
Her finger touched the diamond ring upon her hand. She would keep faith in thought as well as in word and deed. At last she fell asleep and dreamed of a blond, gray-eyed youth fighting for his life against a swarm of attacking Mexicans. Gordon met Miss Valdés in the El Tovar dining-room next morning.
Miss Underwood looked quickly at him, then looked quickly away. She knew what they would do. So did Davis. "No, that's not the point. We must find him just as soon as we can. Stir this whole town up and rake it with a fine-tooth comb. See if any of Miss Valdés' peons are in town. If they are have them shadowed." They separated presently, she to go to the State House, he to return to the El Tovar.
"Come, here's the name of your quarry," he said, taking from his leather wallet a letter bearing a London stamp, upon which the address, "To Mademoiselle Paquita Valdes, Rue Saint Lazare, Hotel San-Real, Paris," was written in long, fine characters, which spoke of a woman's hand.

Paragraphs of a letter written from Manila, June 15, 1685, by Auditor Don Pedro Sebastian de Bolivar y Mena to his agent at Madrid, Don Diego Ortiz de Valdes.
This was the 'Marta y Maria' of Armando Palacio Valdes, a novelist who delights me beyond words by his friendly and abundant humor, his feeling for character, and his subtle insight. I like every one of his books that I have read, and I believe that I have read nearly every one that he has written.
So, too, did the quiet, steady eyes in the bronzed face, holding as they did the look of competent alertness that had come from years of frontier life. "You are interested in Miss Valdés?" she asked politely. "In a way of speaking, I am. She is one of the reasons why I came here." "Indeed! She would no doubt be charmed to know of your interest," still with polite detachment.
