A
long
while
ago
;
the
sun
has
brought
two
summers
since
then
to
the
Pampas
.
"
The
joy
of
Glenarvan
can
not
be
described
.
This
reply
agreed
perfectly
with
the
date
of
the
document
.
But
one
question
still
remained
for
him
to
put
to
Thalcave
.
"
You
spoke
of
a
prisoner
,
"
he
said
;
"
but
were
there
not
three
?
"
"
I
do
n't
know
,
"
said
Thalcave
.
"
And
you
know
nothing
of
his
present
situation
?
"
"
Nothing
.
"
This
ended
the
conversation
It
was
quite
possible
that
the
three
men
had
become
separated
long
ago
;
but
still
this
much
was
certain
,
that
the
Indians
had
spoken
of
a
European
that
was
in
their
power
;
and
the
date
of
the
captivity
,
and
even
the
descriptive
phrase
about
the
captive
,
evidently
pointed
to
Harry
Grant
.
THE
Argentine
Pampas
extend
from
the
thirty-fourth
to
the
fortieth
degree
of
southern
latitude
.
The
word
PAMPA
,
of
Araucanian
origin
,
signifies
grass
plain
,
and
justly
applies
to
the
whole
region
.
The
mimosas
growing
on
the
western
part
,
and
the
substantial
herbage
on
the
eastern
,
give
those
plains
a
peculiar
appearance
.
The
soil
is
composed
of
sand
and
red
or
yellow
clay
,
and
this
is
covered
by
a
layer
of
earth
,
in
which
the
vegetation
takes
root
.
The
geologist
would
find
rich
treasures
in
the
tertiary
strata
here
,
for
it
is
full
of
antediluvian
remains
--
enormous
bones
,
which
the
Indians
attribute
to
some
gigantic
race
that
lived
in
a
past
age
.
The
horses
went
on
at
a
good
pace
through
the
thick
PAJA-BRAVA
,
the
grass
of
the
Pampas
,
par
excellence
,
so
high
and
thick
that
the
Indians
find
shelter
in
it
from
storms
.
At
certain
distances
,
but
increasingly
seldom
,
there
were
wet
,
marshy
spots
,
almost
entirely
under
water
,
where
the
willows
grew
,
and
a
plant
called
the
Gygnerium
argenteum
.
Here
the
horses
drank
their
fill
greedily
,
as
if
bent
on
quenching
their
thirst
for
past
,
present
and
future
.
Thalcave
went
first
to
beat
the
bushes
and
frighten
away
the
cholinas
,
a
most
dangerous
species
of
viper
,
the
bite
of
which
kills
an
ox
in
less
than
an
hour
.
