Compact with the New Friend and Discovery of an Old One.
Keeping the fire low in order to prevent its being seen by any of the wandering bands of patriots2—alias3 soldiers, alias banditti—who might chance to be in the neighbourhood, the three travellers thus thrown unexpectedly together ate their supper in comparative silence, Lawrence and Pedro exchanging a comment on the viands4 now and then, and the handsome Indian girl sitting opposite to them with her eyes for the most part fixed5 on the ground, though now and then she raised them to take a quick stealthy glance at the huge youth whose appetite did not seem to be greatly affected6 by his misfortunes. Perhaps she was wondering whether all Englishmen, possessed7 such innocent kindly9 faces and such ungainly though powerful frames. It may be that she was contrasting him with the handsome well-knit Pedro at his side.
Whatever her thoughts might have been, the short glances of her lustrous10 eyes gave no clue to them, and her tongue was silent, save when she replied by some brief monosyllable to a remark or query11 put in the Indian language occasionally by Pedro. Sometimes a gleam of the firelight threw her fine brown features into bold relief, but on these occasions, when Lawrence Armstrong chanced to observe them, they conveyed no expression whatever save that of profound gravity, with a touch, perhaps, of sadness.
The bench being awkwardly situated12 for a table, they had arranged a small box, bottom up, instead. Lawrence and his new acquaintance seated themselves on the ground, and Manuela used her saddle as a chair.
