On a nearer view, Don Pedro proved to be a tall, lean, dry man, not unlike Dore's conception of Don Quixote.

He must have had Indian blood in his veins, judging from his very dark eyes, his stiff, lank hair, worn somewhat long, and his high cheek-bones.

Also, although he was arrayed in puritanic black, his barbaric love of color betrayed itself in a red tie and in a scarlet handkerchief which was twisted loosely round a soft slouch hat, It was the hat and the brilliant red of tie and handkerchief which had caught Mrs.Jasher's eye at so great a distance, and which had led her to pronounce the man a stranger, for Mrs.Jasher well knew that no Englishman would affect such vivid tints.

All the same, in spite of this eccentricity, Don Pedro looked a thorough Castilian gentleman, and bowed gravely when presented to the ladies by Random.
"Mrs.Jasher, Miss Kendal, permit me to present Don Pedro de Gayangos." "I am charmed," said the Peruvian, bowing, hat in hand, "and in turn, allow me, ladies, to introduce my daughter, Donna Inez de Gayangos." Archie was also presented to the Don and to the young lady, after which Lucy and Mrs.Jasher, while not appearing to look, made a thorough examination of the lady with whom Random was in love.
