Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 53: December, 1887Es, Senor, it was a very happy day. The birds twit tered, the sunshine sparkled the brook rippled, and all was glad. And Margarita was glad, too. It was Easter Even, and on the holy Sabbath she was to be married and then, besides, Juan was to stop that morning on his way to the valley. But I have not yet told thee of Juan. Alas! My old mind is forgetful and loves only to think of the happy times when he first climbed over the mountain and saw my Margarita. Why need I say that he loved her? All the young men of the hills loved her and quite uselessly, too. She would have none of them Only Juan. And him she had scarcely seen for weeks, for his old mother was very fretful if he left her, and then - thou knowest, Sefior, how it is with old people. But that day he was coming. Margarita fairly danced with joy and when, with a little laugh and a little song, She opened the door to let in the sunlight, it seemed to greet her with a smile as gay as her own. It was a pretty sight to watch her standing there, shading her eyes with her brown hand and looking over the hill toward Juan's home. In a moment I saw her, I sitting here in my big chair, spring forward and clap her hands. I knew well, then, that she had seen him and I strained my old eyes, too, for he was a Splendid fellow, as tall, and bold, and fiery as any lord in all Leon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
