I could not deny that I was both the one and the other. "You need refreshment, gentlemen; will you come to my house?" "Permit me, Senor, to introduce you to Major Blossom Lieutenant Clayley Lieutenant Oakes: Don Cosme Rosales, gentlemen." My friends and the Don bowed to each other. The major had now recovered his complacency. "Vamonos, caballeros!"

And cold ugh!" Cosme hardly heard this speech. The gray world was a golden ball for him to spin at his will. Midas had touched the snow. The sleigh started with a jerk and a jingle. In a moment it was running lightly with a crisp, cutting noise.

Learning from the guide that we had been attacked, he had despatched a trusty servant to the American camp, and Raoul had met the party coming to our rescue. After supper Don Cosme left us to give some orders relative to his departure in the morning. His lady set about preparing the sleeping apartments, and my companion and I were left for some time in the sweet companionship of Lupe and Luz.

But wild and lonesome. You wouldn't be caring for it not for longer than a sunny day or two, I reckon." He used the native phrases with sure familiarity, and yet in his speaking of them there was something unfamiliar. Evidently she was puzzled by him, and Cosme was not sorry that he had so roused her curiosity.

The riflemen in the arches repelled sallies; but Quitman's position was precarious, till night terminated the conflict. Worth meanwhile had advanced in like manner along the San Cosme causeway, driving the Mexicans from barricade to barricade, till within two hundred fifty yards of the garita of San Cosme. There he encountered as severe a fire as that which stopped Quitman.

She engaged her two brothers, Cosme and Pierre, in the enterprise by promising them the command of a regiment.

To be plucked at once. You may look for half a dozen fresh eggs for your mother to put in the stew. And, Felipe, go find Cosme and tell him to saddle the roan pony to go to the store at once.
