his knee, and, leaning back, presently began to snore gently and

The General, whose sword seemed to take up half the carriage, still
watched Estella, and if the air made her mantilla flutter, drew up the

Then, with one hand on hers, and the other grasping his sword, he leant

Thus they travelled on through the luminous night.  The roads were
neither worse nor better than they are to-day in Spain—than they were in
England in the Middle Ages—and their way lay over the hill ranges that
lie between the watersheds of the Tagus and the Guadiana.  At times they
passed through well-tended valleys, where corn and olives and vines
seemed to grow on the same soil, but for the greater part of the night
they ascended and descended the upper <DW72>s, where herds of goats, half
awakened as they slept in a ring about their guardian, looked at them
with startled eyes.  The shepherds and goatherds, who, like those of old,
lay cloaked upon the ground, and tended their flocks by night, did not
trouble to raise their heads.

Concha alone slept, for the General had a thousand thoughts that kept him
awake and bright-eyed, while Estella knew from her father’s manner and
restlessness that these were no small events that now stirred Spain, and
seemed to close men’s mouths, so that near friends distrusted one
another, and brother was divided against brother.  Indeed, others were on
the road that night, and horsemen passed the heavy carriage from time to
time.

In the early morning a change of horses was effected at a large inn near
the summit of a pass above Malagon, and here an orderly, who seemed to
recognise the General, was climbing into the saddle as the Vincentes
quitted their carriage and passed into the common room of the venta for a

 The General, whose sword seemed to take up half the baby buggy, however 
 watched Estella, and if the air made her mantilla flutter, absorb up the

 lie between the watersheds of the Tagus and the Guadiana.   At times they 
 passed through well - tended valleys, where corn and olives and vines 
 seemed to turn on the same soil, but for the great character of the night 
 they ascended and descended the upper < DW72 > s, where herds of goats, half 
 awakened as they slept in a gang about their guardian, looked at them 
 with startled eyes.   The shepherds and goatherds, who, like those of old, 
 lie cloaked upon the ground, and tended their flocks by nox, did not
