a time when the whole village is threatened with a flood, she rides down
the valley and warns the people of their danger. She is a very natural,
lovable girl, and the story ends all too soon.

bright, observing girl than that of an existence in this semi-tropical
region, with its wealth of Spanish tradition, its glorious climate, and
its abundance of flowers and foliage.
