"
As
this
exaggerated
chapter
of
euphemism
was
responded
to
by
a
peal
of
clear
ringing
laughter
,
the
young
lady
pointed
to
the
other
side
of
the
patio
;
where
her
maid
was
seer
emerging
from
the
"
cocina
,
"
carrying
a
light
tray
--
followed
by
Pluto
with
one
of
broader
dimensions
,
more
heavily
weighted
.
"
You
great
giant
!
"
was
the
reply
,
given
in
a
tone
of
sham
reproach
;
"
I
wo
n't
believe
you
have
lost
your
appetite
,
until
you
have
eaten
Jack
.
Yonder
come
Pluto
and
Morinda
.
They
bring
something
that
will
prove
more
cheerful
company
than
I
;
so
I
shall
leave
you
to
enjoy
it
.
Good
bye
,
Zeb
--
good
bye
,
or
,
as
the
natives
say
here
,
hasta
luego
!
"
Gaily
were
these
words
spoken
--
lightly
did
Louise
Poindexter
trip
back
across
the
covered
corridor
Only
after
entering
her
chamber
,
and
finding
herself
chez
soi-même
,
did
she
give
way
to
a
reflection
of
a
more
serious
character
,
that
found
expression
in
words
low
murmured
,
but
full
of
mystic
meaning
:
--
"
It
is
my
destiny
:
I
feel
--
I
know
that
it
is
!
I
dare
not
meet
,
and
yet
I
can
not
shun
it
--
I
may
not
--
I
would
not
--
I
will
not
!
"
The
pleasantest
apartment
in
a
Mexican
house
is
that
which
has
the
roof
for
its
floor
,
and
the
sky
for
its
ceiling
--
the
azotea
.
In
fine
weather
--
ever
fine
in
that
sunny
clime
--
it
is
preferred
to
the
drawing-room
;
especially
after
dinner
,
when
the
sun
begins
to
cast
rose-coloured
rays
upon
the
snow-clad
summits
of
Orizava
,
Popocatepec
,
Toluca
,
and
the
"
Twin
Sister
;
"
when
the
rich
wines
of
Xeres
and
Madeira
have
warmed
the
imaginations
of
Andalusia
's
sons
and
daughters
--
descendants
of
the
Conquistadores
--
who
mount
up
to
their
house-tops
to
look
upon
a
land
of
world-wide
renown
,
rendered
famous
by
the
heroic
achievements
of
their
ancestors
.
Then
does
the
Mexican
"
cavallero
,
"
clad
in
embroidered
habiliments
,
exhibit
his
splendid
exterior
to
the
eyes
of
some
señorita
--
at
the
same
time
puffing
the
smoke
of
his
paper
cigarito
against
her
cheeks
.
Then
does
the
dark-eyed
donçella
favourably
listen
to
soft
whisperings
;
or
perhaps
only
pretends
to
listen
,
while
,
with
heart
distraught
,
and
eye
wandering
away
,
she
sends
stealthy
glances
over
the
plain
towards
some
distant
hacienda
--
the
home
of
him
she
truly
loves
.
So
enjoyable
a
fashion
,
as
that
of
spending
the
twilight
hours
upon
the
housetop
,
could
not
fail
to
be
followed
by
any
one
who
chanced
to
be
the
occupant
of
a
Mexican
dwelling
;
and
the
family
of
the
Louisiana
planter
had
adopted
it
,
as
a
matter
of
course
.
On
that
same
evening
,
after
the
dining-hall
had
been
deserted
,
the
roof
,
instead
of
the
drawing-room
,
was
chosen
as
the
place
of
re-assemblage
;
and
as
the
sun
descended
towards
the
horizon
,
his
slanting
rays
fell
upon
a
throng
as
gay
,
as
cheerful
,
and
perhaps
as
resplendent
,
as
ever
trod
the
azotea
of
Casa
del
Corvo
.
Moving
about
over
its
tessellated
tiles
,
standing
in
scattered
groups
,
or
lined
along
the
parapet
with
faces
turned
towards
the
plain
,
were
women
as
fair
and
men
as
brave
as
had
ever
assembled
on
that
same
spot
--
even
when
its
ancient
owner
used
to
distribute
hospitality
to
the
hidalgos
of
the
land
--
the
bluest
blood
in
Coahuila
and
Texas
.
