"I have several, Excellency," he answered.
"I mean by a good horse, one capable of going a long distance."
"Certainly, mi amo; I have a mustang on which I could ride to Hermosillo and back without giving it any further rest than that of the camping hours."
"I want to send you to Hermosillo."
"Very good, Excellency; when must I start?"
"Why, as soon as possible after you have rested."
"Rested from what?"
"The ride you have taken this morning."
The majordomo shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "I am never tired, Excellency; in half an hour I shall have lassoed my horse, saddled it, and mounted, unless you wish me to defer my journey."
"The hours for the siesta will soon be here, and the heat will be insufferable."
