Still

Notwithstanding
her
resolve
,
to
avoid
the
accident
of
an
encounter
with
the
man
who
had
made
her
miserable
,
she
was
oft
in
the
saddle
and
abroad
,
scouring
the
country
around
--
riding
through
the
streets
of
the
village
--
with
no
other
object
than
to
meet
him
.
During
the
three
days
that
followed
that
unpleasant
discovery
,
once
again
had
she
seen
--
from
the
housetop
as
before
--
the
lady
of
the
lazo
en
route
up
the
road
,
as
before
accompanied
by
her
attendant
with
the
pannier
across
his
arm
--
that
Pandora
's
box
that
had
bred
such
mischief
in
her
mind
--
while
she
herself
stood
trembling
with
jealousy
--
envious
of
the
other
's
errand
.
She
knew
more
now
,
though
not
much
.
Only
had
she
learnt
the
name
and
social
standing
of
her
rival
.
The
Doña
Isidora
Covarubio
de
los
Llanos
--
daughter
of
a
wealthy
haciendado
,
who
lived
upon
the
Rio
Grande
,
and
niece
to
another
whose
estate
lay
upon
the
Leona
,
a
mile
beyond
the
boundaries
of
her
father
's
new
purchase
.
An
eccentric
young
lady
,
as
some
thought
,
who
could
throw
a
lazo
,
tame
a
wild
steed
,
or
anything
else
excepting
her
own
caprices
.
Such
was
the
character
of
the
Mexican
señorita
,
as
known
to
the
American
settlers
on
the
Leona
.
A
knowledge
of
it
did
not
remove
the
jealous
suspicions
of
the
Creole
.
On
the
contrary
,
it
tended
to
confirm
them
.
Such
practices
were
her
own
predilections
.
She
had
been
created
with
an
instinct
to
admire
them
.
She
supposed
that
others
must
do
the
same
.
The
young
Irishman
was
not
likely
to
be
an
exception
.
There
was
an
interval
of
several
days
--
during
which
the
lady
of
the
lazo
was
not
seen
again
.
"
He
has
recovered
from
his
wounds
?
"
reflected
the
Creole
.
"
He
no
longer
needs
such
unremitting
attention
.
"
She
was
upon
the
azotea
at
the
moment
of
making
this
reflection
--
lorgnette
in
hand
,
as
she
had
often
been
before
.
It
was
in
the
morning
,
shortly
after
sunrise
:
the
hour
when
the
Mexican
had
been
wont
to
make
her
appearance
.
Louise
had
been
looking
towards
the
quarter
whence
the
señorita
might
have
been
expected
to
come
.
