MY not having heard of Nunnez all this
time, furprifed me fo much, that I'
concluded he muft be in the country s ^
and as foon as I could walk, went to his lodgings, i
Where I underilood that fie had a&ually gone to
Andaloufia, three weeks before, with the Duke de
Medina Sidonia. One morning, at waking, Don
Melchior de la Ronda came into my head ; and re¬

promife that very day. Having got a dire<3ion to
