Now, fencing had been one of the fads at Stonefell during the past term, and Jack, under the tutelage of Mons Dupre, the French instructor, had become an expert swordsman.

It is many years before 1837, I theenk, is the year; the Americanos no have come to take California; but I remember like it is yesterday. "You see, I living with her Doña Juana Ybarra her name is ever since I am little girl, and she too.
I tell thee, Francisco, like as not it is all a folly, some senseless blunder of those Americanos that imposes upon Don Juan's simplicity and love for them."
