The soldiers roared with joy. "What fine tripe, General; I swear I haven't tasted the like of it in all my life," Blondie said, as he began to reminisce about "El Monico" at Chihuahua. "You really like it, Blondie?" responded Demetrio. "Go ahead, call for more, eat your bellyful." "It's just the way I like it," Anastasio chimed in. "Yes, I like good food!
His hair was still black, but he had a magnificent, full, black beard; he had become a Greek prince, and his name was Anastasio Maurokordatos. She met him once in one of the side walks in the park, where he could not avoid her. "If it goes on like this," she called out to him in a mocking voice, "the next time I see you, you will be king of some negro tribe or other."
Don't hesitate, Venancio, come at once and bring your funds. I promise you we'll get rich in no time. My best wishes to the General, to Anastasio, and the rest of the boys. Your affectionate friend, Luis Cervantes Venancio finished reading the letter for the hundredth time and, sighing, repeated: "Tenderfoot certainly knows how to pull the strings all right!"
This appeared no difficult matter for them to accomplish: wherefore, being returned to Ravenna, and as they found the time answerable to their purpose, they invited such as Anastasio had appointed them. And although they found it some-what an hard matter, to gaine her company whom he so deerely affected; yet notwithstanding, the other women won her along with them.
Proudly, Anastasio raised his head, went up to him and looked him in the face. The stranger lowered his tone considerably. "Well, I'm a revolutionist, too, you know. The Government drafted me and I served as a private, but I managed to desert during the battle the day before yesterday, and I've been walking about in search of you all." "So he's a Government soldier, eh?"
The few remaining officers among Demetrio's friends also grumbled, because his staff was made up of wealthy, dapper young men who oiled their hair and used perfume. "The worst part of it," Venancio said, "is that we're gettin' overcrowded with Federals!" Anastasio himself, who invariably found only praise for Demetrio's conduct, now seemed to share the general discontent.
Two fierce Blood-hounds also followed swiftly after, and where their teeth tooke hold, did most cruelly bite her. Anastasio, put not thy selfe in any opposition, but referre to my Hounds and me, to punish this wicked woman as she hath justly deserved.
Then, making a trumpet of her hands, she drew near Anastasio and murmured in his ear: "Imagine, they even carried away Senora Nieves' little girl!" Suddenly awakening, Quail opened his eyes and stood up. "Montanez, did you hear? A shot, Montanez! Hey, Montanez, get up!" He shook him vigorously until Montanez ceased snoring and in turn woke up.
