The long and short of it is that they want a strong candidate with five hundred pounds, and we are prepared to send you down, my boy, and to be good for that amount." Sydney took out his cigar case, and offered the beaming baronet a choice Villar. "It's uncommonly good of you, Pynsent, to give me a look in at Dormer, and to suggest the other thing in such a friendly way.
I will be good, and I will give you everything that I brought here from Villar. But leave me my Bible, please! please! Leave me my Bible!" Paula sobbed, clinging to my father with a desperate courage. Teresa, who had viewed this scene with dismay, did not dare to interfere. She came and went, pretending to arrange things here and there in the room.
"Here are the deeds appointing to you the estate of la Villar and your patent of nobility," he said, pointing to a box upon his table.
If he succeeds in this enterprise, you must write in our name and bid him come hither to receive our thanks in person, and to rest for a while from his labours in our service. "You have changed somewhat, Monsieur de Villar, since we last saw you.

A procession was soon formed, which we followed, and we found ourselves in front of the editorial offices of El Pais. "Shall we go in?" asked Villar. "Do you know Lerroux?"
Now whether Villar be older than the smaller buildings in the neighbourhood or not, it is undoubtedly quite different not only in style but in execution. It is not only much larger and higher, but it is better built and the carving is finer and more carefully wrought.
The advent of a party hostile to me in power would doubtless be signalized by acts of vengeance against those who have been friends, and estates change hands so frequently in France that la Villar might well be confiscated. No man is above the chances of fortune.
Let me see your real name is Narciso " "Narciso Villar." "Well, then, I shall be Juan Villar, your brother. Henceforth we shall speak nothing but Spanish. Tell me now, what was our father's name, where was our home, and what are we doing together?" During the breathless interval before the shower the two sat with their heads together, talking earnestly.
