But
for
a
short
while
was
he
permitted
to
indulge
in
the
luxurious
spectacle
.
On
reaching
the
bottom
of
the
stair
his
fair
hostess
bade
him
a
somewhat
abrupt
adieu
.
After
the
revelations
he
had
so
unwittingly
made
,
his
conversation
seemed
no
longer
agreeable
;
and
she
,
late
desirous
of
interrogating
,
was
now
contented
to
leave
him
alone
with
the
Monongahela
,
as
she
hastened
to
hide
her
chagrin
in
the
solitude
of
her
chamber
.
For
the
first
time
in
her
life
Louise
Poindexter
felt
the
pangs
of
jealousy
.
It
was
her
first
real
love
:
for
she
was
in
love
with
Maurice
Gerald
.
A
solicitude
like
that
shown
for
him
by
the
Mexican
señora
,
could
scarce
spring
from
simple
friendship
?
Some
closer
tie
must
have
been
established
between
them
?
So
ran
the
reflections
of
the
now
suffering
Creole
.
From
what
Maurice
had
said
--
from
what
she
had
herself
seen
--
the
lady
of
the
lazo
was
just
such
a
woman
as
should
win
the
affections
of
such
a
man
.
Hers
were
accomplishments
he
might
naturally
be
expected
to
admire
.
Her
figure
had
appeared
perfect
under
the
magnifying
effect
of
the
lens
.
The
face
had
not
been
so
fairly
viewed
,
and
was
still
undetermined
.
Was
it
in
correspondence
with
the
form
?
Was
it
such
as
to
secure
the
love
of
a
man
so
much
master
of
his
passions
,
as
the
mustanger
appeared
to
be
?
The
mistress
of
Casa
del
Corvo
could
not
rest
,
till
she
had
satisfied
herself
on
this
score
.
As
soon
as
Zeb
Stump
had
taken
his
departure
,
she
ordered
the
spotted
mare
to
be
saddled
;
and
,
riding
out
alone
,
she
sought
the
crossing
of
the
river
;
and
thence
proceeded
to
the
highway
on
the
opposite
side
.
Advancing
in
the
direction
of
the
Fort
,
as
she
expected
,
she
soon
encountered
the
Mexican
señora
on
her
return
;
no
señora
according
to
the
exact
signification
of
the
term
,
but
a
señorita
--
a
young
lady
,
not
older
than
herself
.
At
the
place
of
their
meeting
,
the
road
ran
under
the
shadow
of
the
trees
.
There
was
no
sun
to
require
the
coifing
of
the
rebozo
upon
the
crown
of
the
Mexican
equestrian
.
The
scarf
had
fallen
upon
her
shoulders
,
laying
bare
a
head
of
hair
,
in
luxuriance
rivalling
the
tail
of
a
wild
steed
,
in
colour
the
plumage
of
a
crow
.
It
formed
the
framing
of
a
face
,
that
,
despite
a
certain
darkness
of
complexion
,
was
charmingly
attractive
.
Good
breeding
permitted
only
a
glance
at
it
in
passing
;
which
was
returned
by
a
like
courtesy
on
the
part
of
the
stranger
.
