Fear is so bad for me. See, I do not even care for my cakes and honey this morning. "I will give Rachela the blue silk kerchief I brought from New York. She will forget a great deal for that, and then, Iza, darling, you must tell Fray Ignatius of your sin, because it is not good to have an unconfessed sin on the soul." "Antonia, do not say such cruel things. I have confessed to you.
The Senora had always fretted and scolded a little when he thus exposed his life. But the storming of the Alamo! That was a bravery she could understand. Her Roberto was indeed a hero! Though she could not bring herself to approve the cause for which he fought, she was as sensitive as men and women always are to victorious valor and a successful cause. Rachela was in a state of rebellion.
They will take it that is to be expected who can fight diablos? And what is to become of us? Oh, Antonia! Why did you prevent Fray Ignatius? We might now have been safe in the convent", and Rachela nodded her head in assent, with an insufferable air of reproof and toleration. Antonia saw that the time had not yet come for pleading her own cause. She left Isabel with her mother.
I shall do as my sister does, and the Holy Mother herself will be satisfied with me!" "Chito! Chito!! You wicked one! Oh, Maria Santissima, cast on this child a look of compassion! The American last night has bewitched her! I said that he looked like a Jew." "I am not wicked, Rachela; and gracias a Dios, there is no Inquisition now to put the question!"
I think indeed that the Americans know but two words: freedom and dollars. Ring for Rachela. She, at least, is faithful to me." "Not till you kiss me, mother. Do not send me away unblessed and unloved. That is to doom me to misfortune. Mi madre, I beg this favor from you." He had risen, but he still held her hands, and he was weeping as innocent young men are not ashamed to weep.
Come dear, come, in a few minutes you will be ready." She was urging and kissing the trembling woman, and dressing her in despite of her faint effort to delay to call Rachela to bring Luis to her room. In ten minutes she was ready. She went down softly, like a frightened child, Antonia cheering and encouraging her in whispers.
"And yet," he muttered, "so much depends upon my persuading her into the convent; however, nothing now is to be done to-day, except to see Rachela. Saint Joseph! if these American heretics were only in my power! What a long joy I would make of them! I would cut a throat just one throat every day of my life."
You can manage Rachela, I am sure you can." "I can manage Rachela, and you shall have one whole hour, Iza. One whole hour! Come, now, we must make a visit to our mother. She will be wondering at our delay." The Senora had not yet risen. She had taken her chocolate and smoked her cigarito, but was still drowsing. "I have had a bad night, children," she said full of dreadful dreams.
"The Senorita had better remain within," she said, sullenly; "the sun grows hot." "Let me pass, Rachela, I am in a hurry." "To be sure, the Senorita will have her way good or bad." Antonia heeded her not; she was hastening down the main avenue toward the gateway. This avenue was hedged on each side with oleanders, and they met in a light, waving arch above her head.
"My darling, tell the Lord your sorrow, then, but do not repine to Rachela or Fray Ignatius. That is to complain to the merciless of the All-Merciful." "Do you think I am wicked, Antonia? What excuse could I offer to His Divine Majesty, if I spoke evil to him of Rachela and Fray Ignatius?" "Neither of them are our friends; do you think so?"
