The Girl of the Golden West Novelized from the Play (Classic Reprint)

Monterey, that the Girl first met him. It happened, too, just at a time when her mind was ripe tc receive a lasting impression. But of all this the boys of Cloudy Mountain Camp heard not a word, needless to say, until long afterwards. Lolling back on the rear seat of the stage, her eyes half closed, the sole passenger now, and with the seat in front piled high with boxes and baskets containing rebozos, silken souvenirs, and other finery purchased in the shops of the old town, the Girl was mentally reviewing and dreaming of the delights of her weeks visit there, a visit that had been a revelation to one whose sole experience of the world had until now been derived from life in a rough mining camp. Before her half-closed eyes still shimmered a vista of strange, exotic scenes and people, the thronging crowds of carnivals and fetes; the Mexican girls swaying through the movements of the fandango to the music of guitars and castanets; the great rodeo with its hundreds of vaqueros, which was held at one of the ranches just outside the town; and, lastly, and most vividly of all, the never-to-beforgotten thrill of her first bull-fight.
