You're a gentleman I could find it in me heart to both love and hate, governor." "And you're a gentleman," returned the governor, with a bow, "I could find it in my heart to hang high as Haman without love or hate." Michael linked his arm in that of his excellency. "Sure, you're a broth of a lad, Senor Megales," he said irreverently, in good, broad Irish brogue.
"I hope you'll provide a pleasant entertainment for him." "We'll do our best," grinned the revolutionist. "Music provided by Megales' crack military band. A lively and enjoyable occasion guaranteed to all who attend. Your friend will meet some of the smartest officers in the State. It promises to be a most sumptuous affair." "Then my friend accepts with pleasure."
"Since the world began it has been the law of life that the young should leave their parents for a home of their own," Juan protested. "So the Scripture says," agreed Megales sardonically. "It further counsels to love one's enemies, but, I think, omits mention of the enemies of one's father." "Sir, I am not your enemy.
"I would give a good deal to have the privilege of hanging your red-headed friend, but since that is denied me, I must be grateful he does not take a fancy to hang me." "In case he doesn't, your excellency," was Bucky's addendum. "I understand he has decided to deport me," retorted Megales lightly. "It is perhaps better politics, on the whole, better even than a knife in the back."
"Begad, excellency, I like your spirit. If it's my say-so, you will live to be a hundred. Come the cards are against you. Some other day they may fall more pat for you. But the jig's up now." "I am very much of your opinion, sir," agreed Megales. "Then why not make terms?" "Such as " "Your life and your friends' lives against a graceful capitulation." "Our lives as prisoners or as free men?"
Bucky was introduced to those present under the name of Alessandro Perdoza, and presently also to the two missing members of the party who arrived together a few moments later. Juan Valdez was the son of the candidate who was opposing the reelection of Megales, and Manuel Garcia was his bosom friend, and the young man to whom his sister was engaged.
We must petition him to improve the sanitation of his hotel." "We are being told, one may suppose, that General Valdez is the newly elected governor?" "Right, your excellency, elected by a large majority to succeed the late Governor Megales." "Late!" The former governor lifted his eyebrows. "Am I also being told that necessity demands the posting of the suicide bulletin, after all?" "Not at all.
Carlo was a hater of Americans and a butcher by temperament and choice, Chaves a personal enemy of the prisoner, and Onate looked as grim an old scoundrel as Jeffreys the hanging judge of James Stuart. Governor Megales, though not technically a member of the court, was present, and took an active part in the prosecution.
I don't give a damn whether Megales or Valdez is governor of Chihuahua, subject, of coorse, to the will of the people. Then he winks at Valdez wid his off eye as much as to say: 'Go in an' win, me boy; me prayers are supporting ye. But be sure ye do nothing too illegal. So there ye are, Bucky.
Bucky's eyes opened wide when Gabilonda and Megales came alone and without a lantern to his cell. In the darkness it was impossible to recognize them, but once within the closed cell the warden produced a dark lantern from under his coat. "Circumstances have arisen that make the utmost vigilance necessary," explained the warden.
