"Articulos para Caballeros" was the representation held forth upon its signboard. If it had articled Mr.
We must keep peace, Valencia, or else I must leave the rodeo. Personal quarrels must wait." "Sí, Señor, personal quarrels must wait," assented José, again coming up unexpectedly behind them. "I but wish to say that I regret the bad manners of those caballeros, whose best excuse is that they are my friends. I hope the señor does not accuse me of spreading the news of the señor's boast.
But know, caballeros, that I am devoutly thankful to you, and will aid you if ever ye have need of me, and it lies in my power." So we thanked him and said farewell for that time, and when the coach had gone on, taking the wounded prisoner with it, we continued our way up the mountains, first supping heartily of the food and wine, and blessing God for it.
Therefore, as Americans and gentlemen, we find it wholly impossible for us to remain either your employs or your guests. There can be no hope whatever that we shall consent to serve you, even in the most innocent way." Don Luis heard them with rising anger, which, however, he kept down with a fine show of self-control.

The caballeros had their finest wardrobes of colored silks and embroidered botas, sombreros laden with silver, fine lawn and lace, jewel and sash, velvet serape for the chill of the late afternoon.
Love, only love, impelled men to kill each other. The rustic caballeros were impassioned in their predilections, and as fatal in their jealousy as heroes in novels.
