292 ON THE FEONTIEK. 



The Padre Jose proved a regular trump of a padre, full 

 of anecdote, humour, discretion. The senorita was perfectly 

 charming, and I had a most delightful time, though we 

 did have to sit in darkness, "because of the mosquitoes ;" 

 and it was very late when Father Josd accompanied me to 

 my quarters in town. 



It was many a long day before I again saw " Beauty," and 

 far from Acapulco and Lozada. Everything was different ; 

 but she, the Mariposa, was as handsome, as charming, as 

 dangerous as ever.
