"Ah! I will find her again," the adventurer continued, "and the count, what is he doing?"
"He is in a state of despair and is seeking her, aided by Leo Carral: while I came to you."
"You did well: I shall not fail you. Then the count and Leo Carral have remained in Puebla?"
"Leo Carral alone. The count was obliged to fly in order to escape the pursuit of the Juarists and has taken shelter at the rancho with his servants: every day his youngest valet Ibarru, I think that is his name, goes to the town to arrange measures with the majordomo."
"Was it from your own impulse that you came to me?"
"Yes, but I first consulted with the count, as I did not like to act without having his advice."
"You were right, sister, prepare a suitable apartment for doña Dolores."
"You will bring her back then?" the two ladies exclaimed.
"Yes, or perish."
"Shall we be off?" the young man cried impatiently.
