Excerpt from Gabriel Conroy, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
Arthur's letter to his partners was a brief explanation of his delay, and closed with the following sentence -
"Search the records for any deed or transfer of the grant from Dr. Devarges."
He had scarcely concluded before Diego entered ready for the journey. When he had gone Arthur waited with some impatience the reappearance of Donna Dolores. To his disappointment, however, only the solemn major-domo strode grimly into the room like a dark-complexioned ghost, and, as it seemed to Arthur, with a strong suggestion of the Commander in Don Giovanni in his manner, silently beckoned him to follow to the apartment set aside for his reception.
