He has not made his appearance in the office to-day! exclaimed Mr. Passmore, the working partner in an ironware manufactory in Seville. If this Señor Don Alcala de Aguilera think it beneath his dignity to keep faith with his employer, and stick to his business, I'll find some one else who will. The high and mighty caballero may smoke his cigar, or take his siesta, like the rest of his lazy nation; I'll not disturb him, though his nap should last till the Moors come again! Mr. Passmore rubbed his heated face with his spotted handkerchief as he concluded his speech, for the fiery sun of Andalusia had not yet sunk, and the small office-room attached to his manufactory glowed like one of his own furnaces.
De Aguilera may have been kept away by illness, sir, suggested Lucius Lepine, a young English clerk in the employ of the manufacturer. He appeared to be far from well yesterday, when translating the letters from Madrid.
