Then you mean to assert that you are not Calros Rey. Myself. I never heard before of such a king, nor indeed of such a name. Alcalde. Hark to the fellow: he has the audacity to say that he has never heard of Calros the pretender, who calls himself king. Myself. If you mean by Calros, the pretender Don Carlos, all I can reply is, that you can scarcely be serious.
On arriving in the street, he laid his heavy hand upon my arm, not roughly however. "It is Calros! it is Calros!" said a hundred voices; "he has come to Finisterra at last, and the justicia have now got hold of him." Wondering what all this could mean, I attended my strange conductor down the street. As we proceeded, the crowd increased every moment, following and vociferating.
Even the sick were brought to the door to obtain a view of what was going forward and a glance at the redoubtable Calros. I was particularly struck by the eagerness displayed by one man, a cripple, who, in spite of the entreaties of his wife, mixed with the crowd, and having lost his crutch, hopped forward on one leg, exclaiming, "Carracho! tambien voy yo!"
Autumnal Morning The World's End Corcuvion Duyo The Cape A Whale The Outer Bay The Arrest The Fisher-Magistrate Calros Rey Hard of Belief Where is your Passport? It was a beautiful autumnal morning when we left the choza and pursued our way to Corcuvion.
He would have come to trade, to buy; but nobody knows him in Finisterra, nor does he know anybody: and the first thing, moreover, that he does when he reaches this place is to inspect the fort, and to ascend the mountain where, no doubt, he has been marking out a camp. What brings him to Finisterra if he is neither Calros nor a bribon of a faccioso?"
Get up and follow me; it is you I want. Myself. By what authority do you thus presume to interfere with me? By the authority of the justicia of Finisterra. Follow me peaceably, Calros, or it will be the worse for you. "Calros," said I, "what does the person mean?" I thought it, however, most prudent to obey his command, and followed him down the staircase.
"This man is not Calros; he is what he declares himself to be, an Englishman, and whosoever seeks to injure him, shall have to do with Antonio de la Trava el valiente de Finisterra." No person sought to impugn this verdict, and it was at length determined that I should be sent to Corcuvion, to be examined by the alcalde mayor of the district.
The alcalde looked around him in triumph, as if he had made some notable discovery. "Yes, it is Calros; it is Calros," said the crowd at the door. "It will be as well to have these men shot instantly," continued the alcalde; "if they are not the two pretenders, they are at any rate two of the factious." "I am by no means certain that they are either one or the other," said a gruff voice.
