Had
she
grown
fonder
of
the
society
of
her
Texan
relatives
--
fonder
as
they
grew
older
?
If
not
,
what
was
her
motive
?
Imitating
her
own
frankness
of
character
,
it
may
at
once
be
declared
.
She
came
oftener
to
the
Leona
,
in
the
hope
of
meeting
with
Maurice
Gerald
.
With
like
frankness
may
it
be
told
,
that
she
loved
him
.
Beyond
doubt
,
the
young
Irishman
was
in
possession
of
her
heart
.
As
already
known
,
he
had
won
it
by
an
act
of
friendship
;
though
it
may
have
been
less
the
service
he
had
done
,
than
the
gallantry
displayed
in
doing
it
,
that
had
put
the
love-spell
on
the
daring
Isidora
.
Perhaps
,
too
,
she
saw
in
him
other
captivating
qualities
,
less
easily
defined
.
Whether
these
had
been
undesignedly
exhibited
,
or
with
the
intention
to
effect
a
conquest
,
he
alone
can
tell
.
He
has
himself
said
,
No
;
and
respect
is
due
to
his
declaration
.
But
it
is
difficult
to
believe
,
that
mortal
man
could
have
gazed
into
the
eyes
of
Isidora
de
los
Llanos
without
wishing
them
to
look
longingly
upon
him
.
Maurice
may
have
spoken
the
truth
;
but
we
could
better
believe
him
,
had
he
seen
Louise
Poindexter
before
becoming
acquainted
with
Isidora
.
The
episode
of
the
burnt
prairie
was
several
weeks
subsequent
to
the
adventure
with
the
intoxicated
Indians
.
Certainly
something
appears
to
have
occurred
between
him
and
the
Mexican
maiden
,
that
leads
her
to
believe
she
has
a
hope
--
if
not
a
claim
--
upon
his
affections
.
