Don
Silvio
Martinez
had
himself
assisted
at
many
a
wild
scene
and
ceremony
.
His
youth
had
been
passed
amid
perils
;
and
the
courage
of
Isidora
--
at
times
degenerating
into
absolute
recklessness
--
so
far
from
offending
,
rather
gave
him
gratification
.
The
old
gentleman
loved
his
darling
sobrina
,
as
if
she
had
been
his
own
child
;
and
had
she
been
so
,
she
would
not
have
been
more
certain
of
succeeding
to
his
possessions
.
Every
one
knew
,
that
,
when
Don
Silvio
Martinez
should
take
leave
of
life
,
Isidora
Covarubio
de
los
Llanos
would
be
the
owner
of
--
not
his
broad
acres
,
but
--
his
leagues
of
land
,
as
also
his
thousands
of
horses
and
horned
cattle
.
With
this
understanding
,
it
is
needless
to
say
,
that
the
señorita
carried
respect
with
her
wherever
she
went
,
or
that
the
vassals
of
the
Hacienda
Martinez
honoured
her
as
their
future
mistress
.
Independently
of
this
was
she
regarded
.
Hers
were
just
the
qualities
to
win
the
esteem
of
the
dashing
rancheros
;
and
there
was
not
one
upon
the
estate
,
but
would
have
drawn
his
macheté
at
her
nod
,
and
used
it
to
the
shedding
of
blood
.
Miguel
Diaz
spoke
the
truth
,
when
he
said
he
was
in
danger
.
Well
might
he
believe
it
.
Had
it
pleased
Isidora
to
call
together
her
uncle
's
vaqueros
,
and
send
them
to
chastise
him
,
it
would
have
been
speedily
done
--
even
to
hanging
him
upon
the
nearest
tree
!
No
wonder
he
had
made
such
haste
to
get
away
from
the
glade
.
As
already
stated
,
the
real
home
of
Isidora
was
upon
the
other
side
of
the
Rio
Grande
--
separated
by
some
three-score
miles
from
the
Hacienda
Martinez
.
But
this
did
not
hinder
her
from
paying
frequent
visits
to
her
relations
upon
the
Leona
.
There
was
no
selfishness
in
the
motive
.
The
prospect
of
the
rich
inheritance
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
.
She
was
an
expectant
heiress
without
that
:
for
her
own
father
was
a
rico
.
But
she
liked
the
company
of
her
uncle
and
aunt
.
She
also
enjoyed
the
ride
from
river
to
river
--
oft
made
by
her
between
morning
and
night
,
and
not
unfrequently
alone
!
Of
late
these
visits
had
become
of
much
more
frequent
occurrence
.
