However, when Hepzibah received a letter from some distant cousins in Spain, inviting her to pay them a visit for the purpose of discussing a business venture in which the Spanish cousins were interested, Hepzibah decided that the novelty of a trip in foreign parts would offset the incidental expense. So, in spite of the fact that the day was Friday, the 13th, and hence inauspicious, she packed up her things and sailed on the first boat. The fact that her stateroom and steamer chair both bore the number "13" did not materially improve Hepzibah's peace of mind. But she soon forgot her superstitious fears in the excitement of having a man pay her marked attention. The man was Gustave Schmidt, a retired merchant. When the ship arrived at its destination, Hepzibah was separated from her newly-found beau. But the next morning, she saw him walking along the road that led past her cousins' estate. Hepzibah beckoned to him and Schmidt promptly came in to see her. He was promptly ejected by the scandalized guards, in spite of Hepzibah's infuriated protests. Hepzibah's cousins were very nice to her indeed. In spite of their gorgeous surroundings, they were in desperate need of money, and Hepzibah seemed to them whatever the Spanish equivalent may be for "an easy mark." But Hepzibah was so much interested in Gustave, that she had not time to listen to her affectionate cousins. Learning from a smuggled note that he was leaving by the next steamer, she escaped from her cousins, and rode to the port on a bicycle, only to find that the steamer had just left. That evening, when her cousins attempted to persuade her to sign a certain paper of innocent appearance, Hepzibah told them exactly what she thought of them. She sailed for home soon afterwards, wondering if she would ever see Schmidt again. She did. He called on her the day she got home, and proposed on the spot.
