"Be assured on that score: I have my revenge to take."
"Farewell, my friend."
"Shall I see Doña Hermosa?"
"I am forbidden to talk on the subject."
"Another question, then. Do you know who kept me prisoner?"
"Yes; there were two—the Tigercat and Don Torribio."
"Indeed!" said Don Fernando, frowning. "I will not forget them. Once more, thanks Estevan."
He sat down in the boat, and gave a sign to the rowers. They were soon in rapid motion, and speedily lost in the shadows of the darkening night.
Three persons remained on the bank anxiously watching the course of the frail boat. These three persons were Estevan Diaz, Doña Hermosa, and Ña Manuela.
