Quien
sabe
?
"
answered
Sloman
,
repeating
the
Spanish
phrase
with
an
ambiguous
shrug
of
the
shoulders
.
"
Preposterous
!
"
exclaimed
Crossman
.
"
A
horse-catcher
daring
to
set
his
thoughts
on
Miss
Poindexter
!
Preposterous
!
"
"
What
a
frightful
aristocrat
you
are
,
Crossman
!
Do
n't
you
know
that
love
is
a
natural
democrat
;
and
mocks
your
artificial
ideas
of
distinction
.
I
do
n't
say
that
in
this
case
there
's
been
anything
of
the
kind
.
Miss
Poindexter
's
not
the
only
woman
that
might
have
caused
a
quarrel
between
the
two
individuals
in
question
.
There
are
other
damsels
in
the
settlement
worth
getting
angry
about
--
to
say
nothing
of
our
own
fair
following
in
the
Fort
;
and
why
not
--
"
"
Captain
Sloman
,
"
petulantly
interrupted
the
lieutenant
of
Rifles
.
"
I
must
say
that
,
for
a
man
of
your
sense
,
you
talk
very
inconsiderately
.
The
ladies
of
the
garrison
ought
to
be
grateful
to
you
for
the
insinuation
.
"
"
What
insinuation
,
sir
?
"
"
Do
you
suppose
it
likely
that
there
's
one
of
them
would
condescend
to
speak
to
the
person
you
've
named
?
"
"
Which
?
I
've
named
two
.
"
"
You
understand
me
well
enough
,
Sloman
;
and
I
you
.
Our
ladies
will
,
no
doubt
,
feel
highly
complimented
at
having
their
names
connected
with
that
of
a
low
adventurer
,
a
horse-thief
,
and
suspected
assassin
!
"
"
Maurice
the
mustanger
may
be
the
last
--
suspected
,
and
that
is
all
.
He
is
neither
of
the
two
first
;
and
as
for
our
ladies
being
above
speech
with
him
,
in
that
as
in
many
other
things
,
you
may
be
mistaken
,
Mr
Crossman
.
I
've
seen
more
of
this
young
Irishman
than
you
--
enough
to
satisfy
me
that
,
so
far
as
breeding
goes
,
he
may
compare
notes
with
the
best
of
us
.
Our
grand
dames
need
n't
be
scared
at
the
thought
of
his
acquaintance
;
and
,
since
you
have
raised
the
question
,
I
do
n't
think
they
would
shy
from
it
--
some
of
them
at
least
--
if
it
were
offered
them
.
It
never
has
.
So
far
as
I
have
observed
,
the
young
fellow
has
behaved
with
a
modesty
that
betokens
the
true
gentleman
.
I
have
seen
him
in
their
presence
more
than
once
,
and
he
has
conducted
himself
towards
them
as
if
fully
sensible
of
his
position
.
