That quadrangle, with a long row of low white houses on three sides of it, is the presidio the barracks; a lorner or lonelier spot it were impossible to picture. There were no trees there, no shrubs; nothing but grass, that was green enough in the rainy winter season but as yellow as straw in the drouth of the long summer. Beyond the presidio were the Lagoon and Washerwoman's Bay.
And another had heard the words of Toulan, and a soft and tremulous voice called: "Farewell, Fidele; I thank you, dear Toulan."

"Poor thing, slaving and toiling away in the cold water! it is hard that you should be called names" for Maren had overheard the sheriff speaking to the child about his own mother "hard that your boy should be told you are good-for-nothing."
