"I care little either way, but they are revengeful, and when you cuff the next one's ears, don't do it too hard, or it may rouse the others to attack you; heigho! here's another!" exclaimed the Señorita, as one of the agile creatures bounded from somewhere upon her horse and whisked out of sight again.
Thou wilt not give it to the American?" "And the next is mine!" "And the next contradanza!" The girl's faithful retinue protested for their rights.
