"Oh, but Treevor, that man said he had five more bulls, look, nobody is going yet," she returned, having evidently followed in her own sharp way the sense of the Spanish speech of the administrador. "Do you want to see any more?" I asked. "I think it is dull and tedious, as well as horrible."
The bodies were dragged away, more sand, and then the administrador himself, pale as ashes, stepped out before the audience howling for more blood. "Señors," he commenced, "it is impossible to supply more than eight horses for one bull; there are five more bulls to be dispatched. They are more savage than this one. I must keep horses for them.
But then" pursued the Administrador of the San Tome mine "but then, he is very far away, you know, and, as they say in this country, God is very high above." The engineer's appreciative laugh died away down the stairs, where the Madonna with the Child on her arm seemed to look after his shaking broad back from her shallow niche. A profound stillness reigned in the Casa Gould.
That horrid cry for more and more horses to be produced that alarms the administrador, or manager, of the bull-fight. In vain the attendants lashed and goaded the dying horses in the arena. They could not get them to their feet again. There is a limit to man's sway, the tortured life at last escapes him.
And now the Europeans were dropping off from the group around Charles Gould till the Administrador of the Great Silver Mine could be seen in his whole lank length, from head to foot, left stranded by the ebbing tide of his guests on the great square of carpet, as it were a multi-coloured shoal of flowers and arabesques under his brown boots.
The thing for him to do was to see his brother, and move part of the burden of his decisions over to Daniel's heavy frame. The sugar estate of which he was Administrador was in the Province of Camagüey, at Cobra; an overnight trip from Havana, Lee had learned. It was Sunday evening now, and they would have to give up their room at the Inglaterra Tuesday.
