"All my reflections are made," the girl replied in a sharp voice; "I insist on it."
The Pirate hung his head silently.
"Will you obey me?" she asked.
"I must, for am I not your slave?"
She smiled proudly.
"Take care, Niña! I know not what has happened between this girl and yourself, but I am conscious that vengeance often produces very bitter fruits, Perhaps you will repent hereafter what you do today?"
"What matter? I shall be avenged. That thought will render me strong, and give me the courage to suffer."
"Then, you are quite resolved?"
"Irrevocably."
"I will obey."
