We will now return to the hacendero and the Mexican encampment. When Don Pedro awoke in the morning, Na Manuela reported Stoneheart's departure in company with her son.
"I feared something of the sort," said Don Pedro sighing; "Don Fernando was so preoccupied last night. I am glad your son has gone with him, Manuela, for it is a perilous expedition. God grant they may bring me back my daughter! Yet I cannot help thinking it would have been better to have consulted me before they left. We have here twenty bold men, who would certainly have been able to do more than two unsupported men, however brave they may be."
