But when we say that all were happy, and
that the great aim of Lorenzo Bezan's heart was accomplished, the
reader will find ample space and time to fill up the open space in
the picture.
General Harero, fearing the disclosure in some way of his villany in
attempting, through his agent, the now dead jailor, the life of
Lorenzo Bezan, immediately resigned his post, and sought an early
opportunity to return to Spain. Here he fell in a duel with one whom
he had personally injured, and his memory was soon lost to friends
and foes.
"Sister," said Ruez, to Isabella, a few days after her marriage with
the lieutenant-governor, "are you going to have Lorenzo Bezan
cashiered? Are you going to complain of him, as you promised me you
should do?"
"You love to torment me, Ruez," said the blooming bride, with
affected petulence.
"That is not answering my question," continued her brother.
"If you don't have a care, I'll complain of you, Ruez, for that
piece of business in the guardhouse!"
"I've no fear about that now, since it has resulted so well."
"That's true; but it is really perplexing to have you always right.
I do declare, Ruez, I wish you would do something that will really
vex me so that I can have a good quarrel with you.
