It had been always, “Ask Senor Felipe,” “Go to Senor Felipe,” “Senor Felipe will attend to it,” ever since Felipe had had the dawning of a beard on his handsome face. Without him, nothing could be done on the ranch, the Senora thought. He was the Senora’s eldest son, and since his father’s death had been at the head of his mother’s house. In the first place, Felipe Moreno had been ill. The Fates had seemed to combine to put it off. IT was sheep-shearing time in Southern California, but sheep-shearing was late at the Senora Moreno’s. ![]() Prepared by David Reed or Helen Hunt Jackson ![]()
