Caspar! shouts the youth excitedly, soon as he catches sight of the other coming towards him.
gpt
What news? Oh? you've not found them! I see you haven't!
human
Calm yourself, young master! rejoins the gaucho, now close up to him;
gpt
I have found them--that is, one of them.
human
Only one--which?
gpt
Your uncle--but, alas--
human
Dead--dead! I know it by the way you speak. But my cousin! Where is she? Still living? Say so, Caspar! Oh, say but that!
gpt
Come senorito, be brave; as I know you are. It may not be so bad for the _nina_, your cousin. I've no doubt she's still alive, though I've not been successful in finding her. As for your uncle, you must prepare yourself to see something that'll pain you. Now, promise me you'll bear it bravely--say you will, and come along with me!
