And, at last, he wrung from Jane a confession of her love, her promise to marry him. And that very week Miss Donaldson, the head of the school, discovered and read a package of the Senor's letters to her pupil. Captain Zelotes happened to be at home from a voyage. Being summoned from South Harniss, he came to Boston and heard the tale from Miss Donaldson's agitated lips.
"In that case I may give you more than you ask." "No, by God, for I shall take all you have." But the other checked his retort. A sudden change came over him. "I ask the senor's pardon," he said, with grave earnestness, "for provoking him. You may not fight with me nor I with you. I speak the truth. I have made oath not to fight till I have killed one whom now I seek."
She was sure of that, and already the senor's recovery a matter of but a little while. Moreover, to serve others was her dearest happiness, and though Fra Sebastian's faith was different from her parents', she had been trained to know all good people as the children of God.
Between the mountain and the river is an hacienda, where they will find welcome for the night." Roldan thanked him profusely, then said: "I have reasons for not wishing ANY ONE to know that I have not returned to my father's house. I beg that you will tell no one, not even a priest, that we have been here, for three days at least." "The senor's wishes shall be obeyed.
Your countrymen your excellent and virtuous countrymen. Generous and courageous and perspicacious." Seraphina said suddenly, "They have reason. It is well for them to be suspicious of us in this place." She had a tone of calm reproof, and of faith. "They shall be of more use when they are dead," Castro muttered. "The senor's other dead countrymen served us well."
He admired each piece, as he put it on, and then one look into the señor's mirror convinced him that he was completely disguised. He had been turned into a somewhat stylish young Mexican, from his broad-brimmed straw hat to his Vera Cruz made shoes. He still wore a blue jacket, but this one was short, round-cornered, and had bright silver buttons.
"We did not care to kill him," Juan explained blandly, "until we had the señor's orders." "You did rightly," I answered, and glanced at my kinsman. His jaw was set. I pulled out a couple of gold pieces for each.
It is scarcely probable, had Senor Stanley returned after the committal of such a deed, that his reentrance should not have been heard as well as his departure; whereas the witness expressly declares, that though her attention was awakened by the previous faint sound, and she listened frequently, she never heard another movement, till her master and mistress's return; and as they went into the Senor's room directly, and found him without the very least appearance of having moved, justice compels us to incline to the belief in Senor Stanley's suggestion that he could scarcely have had sufficient time to rouse, depart, do murder, and feign sleep during Pedro Benito's brief interval of absence."
I couldn't get out of the city in any other way just now, and I want to see Mexico." That idea was growing upon him rapidly, but his next errand was to the señor's own room, to put on what he called his disguise. He followed his friend to a large, handsome chamber in the further end of the house, and, as he entered it, his first thought was: "Hullo! are they getting ready for a fight?"
Why didn't you ride after her, Pratt?" "I might, had I known when she went home," replied Pratt, cheerfully. "I beg the Señor's pardon," whispered José, who was gathering up the plates. "The señorita did not go home." Pratt looked at the boy, sharply. "Sure?" he asked. "Quite so si, señor." "Where did she go?" "Quien sabe?" retorted José Reposa, with a shrug of his shoulders.
