Suzanna
“Don Fernando accepted him at face value, and Doña Luz saw in him only a most agreeable young man.
Suzanna had not left for the Mission as yet, and she found opportunities for comparing the man with Ramon and the bold Pérez. The newcomer suffered but little in this. Her inexperienced eyes being quite dazzled by his graces. Whenever he smiled at her, little chills raced down her spine. She seemed caught up and drawn to him. Several times she had almost obeyed the impulse; but, unsophisticated... as she was, intuition whispered to her to beware of the fellow. Being a woman, Suzanna’s curiosity quite outweighed her caution, and she alternately advanced and retreated in the flirtation Montesoro connived to keep alive.
On the fourth night of his stay at the hacienda, he strolled in the shadows of the servants’ patio, thrumming his guitar. The hour was so late that he openly dared this loss of caste.
Suzanna, wrapped in her mantilla, sat in the deeper shadow of the doorway which led into the granary.MoreLess
