"I think so too," he said; "but, oh, I am afraid for you; and will not you be afraid?" "Yes," she replied, "I am afraid. But it is not so dangerous as the other." "If anything were to happen to me, and I could not come back to you, Majella, if you give Baba his reins he will take you safe home, he and Capitan." Ramona shrieked aloud. She had not thought of this possibility.
"He tell me I act like I vas Capitan, dthen he call me 'damn. I tell him he vas a coachman!" The Baron looks surprised and a bit resentful at our laughter. "What made you call him a coachman?"

Capitan Basilio came with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law, prepared to spend at least three thousand pesos.
