He was very proud and shy, so he took the vaquero's hut, a mere adobe affair, and lived in it, though a caballero like yourself, with white hands that knew not labor, and small feet that had seldom walked. In good time he learned to ride like the best vaquero, and helped Don Andreas to find the lost mustangs, and showed him how to improve the old mill.
Furious, the steer turned and charged resentfully at the caballero who was following him and shouting taunts. But there again he was checked by the first. So, charging this way and that; galloping wildly in pursuit of the man who seemed to be fleeing for his life, or wheeling to do battle with the rider who kept just so far in his rear, he was decoyed to the very outskirts of the camp.
He was a great CABALLERO, who lived here some years ago. His house is over the way, on the other side of the PLAZA, with the arms over the door. The father of the Alcalde is the oldest man in the PUEBLO; perhaps he may remember him. We were amused at his hero's fame outliving that of the author.

"Pues," said Velasquez at last, after gazing at Paco for the space of a minute with a stern look, which was insufficient, however, to make the other lower his eyes, or alter the expression of his countenance; "Well, what do you stare at? Oh! I forgot you may well stare. It is the first time that you have seen an Asturian caballero beaten at any thing by a cur of a Navarrese."
"Aye, Caballero!" replied Juan lightly, raising his sombrero as he advanced. "What do you know?" asked Felipe, half contemptuously, regarding him with keen, searching eyes. "Don't worry about what I know; leave that to me for the present," answered Juan, his peculiarly cold smile lighting up his face.
He used immensely long sentences, of which I only understood one-half. "What, then, is the difference between me, Manuel-del-Popolo Isturiz, and this Tomas Castro? The Señor Caballero can tell at once. Look at me. I am the finer man. I would have you ask the ladies of Rio Medio, and leave the verdict to them. This Castro is an Andalou a foreigner.
"What does Don Luis, then, usually order?" "Chocolate," replied the servant. "Nothing else?" "And a roll or two, excellency." "What does he eat after that?" Harry demanded, rather anxiously. "Nothing, caballero, until the next meal." "Chocolate and a roll or two," muttered Harry. "I am afraid that wouldn't hold me through a day's work. Not even a forenoon's toil.
Now I want to know from Andrew, should matters take such a turn, that without any more of those shocks and perturbations, he should become the husband of Preciosa, would he consider himself a happy man, whether as Andrew Caballero, or as Don Juan de Cárcamo?"
By the aid of a sombrero and a gollil Don Luis d'Aubigny had become a perfect caballero; the like transformation being effected throughout the entire staff of the palace household, and shortly afterwards a very decided step characterised the novel attitude assumed by Philip and his court.
