"Valga me Dios! my children," said the alcalde, turning toward the witnesses, "I cannot explain what fancy the Countess may have had in going out by the window for the door of the chamber, bolted inside, leaves no room to doubt that she went that way. Some woman's caprice, perhaps, which justice has no business to meddle with."
The behaviour of the dumb creatures imparting to him a certain feeling of confidence, he says, continuing the soliloquy: "I think I may venture it. Nay, I must; and there's no help for't. We have to get home somehow and soon. Ah! the Senora! poor lady! What will she be thinking by this time? And what when we get back? Valga me Dios!
But... then...." Wildly his eyes looked about him. They scanned the cabin once again, scrutinizing each familiar object. "Am I mad?" he asked at last. "Surely this ship is the Cinco Llagas?" "The Cinco Llagas it is." "Then...." The Spaniard broke off. His glance grew still more troubled. "Valga me Dios!" he cried out, like a man in anguish.
"But, valga nu Dios, man," he objected, "I have no force I can spare for sufficient time to give you adequate escort for such a journey. It would be madness to undertake it with less than fifty men. I am responsible to my General for your safety, and cannot sanction it.
"There are only ruins there, senor." "That's just what I want to see." "We shall never get to Valentia to-night." "Here's a crown; we shall get there to-morrow."

Are they not so still?" "Valga me dios! No. That is no longer possible. Don Jose has gone under was rubbed out more than three months ago, and by these very Rapahoes!
At last the party was off, and what happened to them I shall relate, as told me by the captain, Don Jose Marie Baca y Artiaga, and in his own words as nearly as I can remember them. "Valga me, Dios, Senor! What an experience was that trip to Arizona! It began and ended with disappointment and disaster. All the men of our party seemed to have lost their wits from the greed of gold.
My arms, which I see before me, have travelled with me for the last eleven years; I carry them to defend myself against highwaymen. After I had written out this document I gave it to the alcalde, who called for an interpreter. When he had had it read to him he rose angrily and said to me, "Valga me Dios! You shall suffer for your insolence."
"The count got impatient and told her to talk of something else, but she would not; and at last he went away, cursing your name. Two days before you came to grief he left her, saying, "'Valga me Dios! I will give you a pleasure you do not expect.
