Origin of señora¹

1570–80; < Spanish, feminine of señor ( def )

"Better so," was the Senora's sole reply; and she fell again into still deeper, more perplexed thought about the hidden treasure.

The Senora Moreno's heart broke within her, when those words passed her lips to her adored Felipe.

"I suppose the man Alessandro has something he calls a home," said the Senora, regaining herself a little.

With some difficulty Jos explained his mother's disclaimer of the title of Senora, and the choice of names she offered to Ramona.

He feared to shock her by the sudden mention of the Senora's death; yet that would harm her less than continued anxiety.
