Pelayo, Vol. 2 of 2
A Story of the Goth (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Pelayo, Vol. 2 of 2: A Story of the Goth<br><br>When the eyes of the stunned and suffering Amri were opened to the light, he found himself in the-chamber of the beautiful Urraca. She had been, and was still, busy in attendance upon him. Her hand had dressed his wound, which was rather severe than dangerous; she had administered the cooling beverage, and her attentions had been unrelaxing, like those of the fondest and most devoted wife. The gladness which shone in her eyes as she beheld his unclosing, was a rebuke to his spirit, which he understood, if he did not feel.<br><br>"How is it with thee now, Amri" she demanded of him, in a voice of the utmost tenderness, very different from that aroused and sternly passionate tone which we have heard her employing to the same person in a preceding interview. He answered her in a voice of studied fondness, and with words fitly calculated to gloss over his falsehood and conceal his indifference.<br><br>"Ah, dearest Urraca, how much do I owe to thy care and watchfulness! Thou hast saved my life, I know, and I owe it to thee now if I had not willed it to thee before. Thou hast been to me all - henceforward I will be all to thee."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
