She sat up very straight on the carpet, and the copper-coloured ones, themselves wreathed in garlands of the gayest flowers, madly stuck parrot feathers in their hair and began to dance. It was a dance such as you have never seen; it made the children feel almost sure that the cook was right, and that they were all in a dream.
They were simple enough.

To reach the river, it was necessary to take the boats through a burnt forest, without a trail of any sort.

Both sides now took up arms with more than former animosity.

As a grandmother of mine used to say, there are only two families in the world, the Haves and the Haven'ts; and she stuck to the Haves; and to this day, Senor Don Quixote, people would sooner feel the pulse of 'Have, than of 'Know; an ass covered with gold looks better than a horse with a pack-saddle.
