He was theS eiiora seldest son, and since his fathers death had been at the head of his mothers house. Without him, nothing could be done on the ranch, theS eiiora thought. It had been always, Ask Sefior Felipe, Go to Senor Felipe, Senor Felipe will attend to it, ever since Felipe had had the dawning of a beard on his handsome face. In truth, it was not Felipe, but theS eiiora, who really decided all questions from greatest to least, and managed everything on the place, from the sheeppastures to the artichoke-patch; but nobody except theS eiiora herself knew this. An exceedingly clever woman for her day and generation wasS eiiora Gonzaga Moreno, as for that matter, exceedingly clever for any day and generation ;but exceptionally clever for the day and generation to which she belonged.
