248 CALAVAR r " Serior, " said De Morla, in a low voice, to his friend, " observe these new ambassadors ; they are of the noblest blood of the city ; the elder, he that hath the gold grains hanging to his nostrils, in token that he belongs "to the order of Teuctli, or Princes by Merit, is one of the lords of the Four Quarters of Mexico the quarter Tlatelol-co, wherein is our gar rison. His name, Itzquauhtzin, will be, to you, un pronounceable. The youth that bears himself so loftily, is no less... than a nephew of the king himself; and the scarlet fillet around his hair, denotes that he has arrived at the dignity of what we should call a chief commander, a military rank that not even the king can claim, without having performed great ac tions in the field. Tis a sore day for Montezuma, when he sends us such princely ambassadors. I will press forward, and do the office of interpreter ; for destiny, love, and my mother wit, together, have given "me more of the Mexican jargon, than any of my companions.
