The modern Spaniards Zuloaga, Sorolla, Angla-Camarosa are either not represented or else are not at their best. There is a Diaz, who was of Spanish origin; but the Madrazos, Villegas, Montenas, and the others are academic echoes or else feeble and mannered.
According to his instructions, Villegas allowed Ribera to continue his journey to the camp; but made Augustino de Zarate a prisoner, and deprived him of his dispatches.
To these messengers they gave formal letters of credence, with which they set out upon their journey for the valley of Jauja, in which Gonzalo Pizarro was then encamped with his army. To prevent this, he sent Jerom de Villegas with thirty mounted musqueteers to intercept the two messengers now on their way to the army.
"Benito Villegas?" she asked in fluent Spanish, of the ostler, who stared with open-mouthed surprise at this apparition of a fine lady in such a dirty locality. "Benito, the commission agent and guide? Yes, señora, he is with his horses inside," replied the ostler, pointing to the stable-door. "Call him, then!" cried Mrs. Wilders, imperiously.
"Benito Villegas. Perhaps you know him he is a native of the Rock." "I remember him years ago. And has he carried out these instructions? Is he here?" "I cannot make out. I have looked for him, but have been unable to find him." "Not at the address stated here? You have been to it?" "Several times, but have never seen him." "He is probably in some disguise; that would suit his purpose best.
"Think you that I will cross the threshold of your piggery?" and she waited, stamping her foot impatiently whilst the man did her bidding. In another minute he came out with Benito Villegas, the man in the brown suit, who had spoken to Mrs. Wilders in the Commercial Square. "Cypriana," he began at once, in a half-coaxing, half-apologetic tone. "Silence!
"What! cross-grained and out of humour, sweetest? Come, sit here on my knee and listen, while I whisper some good news." "Unless you address me more decently, Benito Villegas, I shall not speak to you at all." "Good news! what then?" put in Tio Pedro, in a coaxing voice. "My fortune is made. I have found powerful friends here upon the Rock.
On this basis the way seems opened to settle the changeful formulas of taste; why the rejection of what for the moment has held the pinnacle of popular favor; why, for instance, the waning of interest in the detailists of the brilliant French-Spanish School, the school of Fortuny, Madrazzo, Villegas, Rico, or of the work of Meissonier, who as a detailist eclipsed them all.
Never, impudent huzzy never, while I have strength and spirit and power to say you no shall you wed this hated English mercenary " "I will wed no one else." "That will we see. Is not your hand promised " "Not with my consent." " Promised, formally, to Benito Villegas my husband's cousin?" "I have not consented. Never shall I agree. Benito is a villain. I hate and detest him!"
"At this moment there is a man his name is Benito Villegas in the bakehouse below the shop," said Mariquita. "He is wounded; you will find him there. Go and seize him; make him tell you what he has done with the English officer, Mr. McKay." "Mr. McKay!" said the provost-marshal, deeply interested at once. "He is absent missing! Have you heard anything of him or his fate?" "Make Benito tell you.
