DOÑA MATILDE. Entonces también temblaría usted, porque es bien seguro que tampoco habrá usted tomado nada. DON EDUARDO. Sí, por cierto; he tomado, según mi costumbre, una jícara de chocolate, con sus correspondientes bollos y pan de Mallorca. DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Chocolate y pan de Mallorca en un día como éste! DON EDUARDO. ¿Es requisito acaso el pedir la novia en ayunas?
At stations where the train stopped five or ten minutes, the doors at the sides of the compartments were opened and the passengers descended and walked up and down the platform. Spanish women, carrying jugs, cried "Lacte," "Limonada," "Narrandjada," and "Acqua," and other peddlers with baskets offered "bollos," "tortitas," and "narranges."
They also procured a dozen fat mutton sheep, which were to be barbecued and served with chile pelado to the invited guests, surely a tempting menu and hot! The ladies baked bollos, tamales and frijoles. Melons and cantaloupes were brought in by the cartload. I was waited upon by a committee and received a formal invitation; for everything was done in grand Spanish style.
"Bollos," or cakes, were joyfully suggested, but Arturo refused. An older Spanish boy, Manuel, joined the company. He was a lazy fellow, whom a good many of the younger boys admired because he could play a guitar and because he wore cheap jewelry that seemed gorgeous to inexperienced eyes. Manuel approved of Arturo's rejection of the cake proposition. What good was cake?
