"Not at all," said Barriovero the conventionalist, very gravely. "He has the superstition of the peasant; he thinks he must leave enough wine to cover the bottom of the glass."
Barriovero, a conventionalist, according to Grandmontagne yes, and how keen the scent of this American for such matters! attended the opening of a radical club in the Calle del Principe with a party of friends. We were all drinking champagne. Like other revolutionists and parvenus generally, Lerroux is a victim of the superstition of champagne.
"Aha, suppose those workingmen should see us drinking champagne!" suggested some one. "What of it?" asked another. "I only wish for my part," Barriovero interrupted with a show of sentiment, "that the workingman could learn to drink champagne." "Learn to drink it?" I burst out, "I see no difficulty about that. He could drink champagne as well as anything else."
Baroja's memoirs afford convincing proof of his contact with radicals of all sorts and classes, from stereotyped republicans such as Barriovero, or the Argentine Francisco Grandmontagne, correspondent of La Prensa of Buenos Aires, to active anarchists of the type of Mateo Morral.
