José blew two fierce columns of cigarette smoke from his nostrils. "Longorio is a gentleman; he scorns to use the tricks of that bandit. Pancho Gomez fights like a savage. Think of the cowardly manner in which he captured Espinal the last time. What did he do then? I'll tell you.
he stooped down as he danced and made himself look as much like a dwarf as he possibly could. When he had finished the Dwarf Song, José tucked his guitar under his arm, and bowed politely to Doña Teresa and Pancho. "Adios!" he said. "May you rest well." "Adios, adios!" shouted all the children. And Pancho and Doña Teresa and the Twins replied: "Adios! God give you sweet sleep."
If your soldiers march upon Mexico City, it would be a brilliant piece of strategy for General Longorio to invade the United States, would it not? It would be funny to capture Washington and hold your President for ransom, eh?" "Very funny," Alaire agreed, dryly. "How would you go about it?" Pancho shrugged. "That is the trouble. We would have to march around Texas, I presume." "Around Texas?"
Pancho appeared in the doorway behind Longorio, saying, "I heard you ride up, sir, so I ran to tell you about this fellow." But the general cut him short.

The occupant put forth his head, saw the goggled freak descending to the legless freak, and sat back again. "Hola, Pancho! Are you ill?" asked the newcomer.

"Now that I have you at home again, I, for one, am quite content," said Doña Teresa; and then she went to unroll the mats and put the children to bed. They were so tired that they went to sleep in their corner in no time at all, and when she had snuffed the candles before the Virgin, Doña Teresa came back to Pancho and sat with him beside the embers still glowing in the brasero.

His face was frightful to behold; it was apelike in its animal rage, and he towered above his master like some fabled creature out of the African jungle of his forefathers. Sebastian's fists alone would have been formidable weapons, but they were armored and weighted with the old-fashioned, hand- wrought irons which Pancho Cueto had locked upon them.
'Perhaps he is with Pancho; I'll run and see! cried Polly, dashing swiftly in the direction of the sky-parlour. But after a few minutes she ran back, with a serious face. 'He's not there; Pancho has not seen him since lunch. 'Well, I've just happened to think, said pale Aunt Truth, 'that papa came into the tent for some cartridges, after you left, and of course he took Dick with him.
Mac told the dispatcher they'd left an important piece of gear at Careless Mesa." So their hunch about Mac and Pancho had been right! But Rick still couldn't figure out how they were involved.
