As to the caballero his saviour from drowning, alas! the senorita would need every ounce of his strength. He would let us sleep till his return from the spring; and, there being a blessed freshness in the air, he caught up the flask and started bare-headed. The sun had just risen. Would to God he had never seen it!
Then he struck the top with his clenched fist, and when the Spaniards fixed their eyes on him, shouted in their language: "Yes, indeed, it was delightful in those days, Caballero Navarrete. Your uncle, the noble Conde in what's its name, that place in Castile, you know, and the Condesa and Condesilla. Splendid people!
"Does the caballero wish for a fresh bull?" asked Don Enrique. "No," said the Doctor, "I want five fresh bulls. And I would like them all in the ring at once, please." At this a cry of horror burst from the people. They had been used to seeing matadors escaping from one bull at a time. But FIVE! That must mean certain death.
When I say sell, I should perhaps have said peddle; for his operations were generally confined to the disposal of single articles, a picture, for instance, or a rare carving in ivory, or a pair of duelling-pistols, or the dress of a Mexican caballero.
Even here, rough and wild as her surroundings were, she gave much thought to her dress; to-night her blonde harmonious loveliness was properly framed in a toilette of mignonette greens, fresh from Paris. A moment later Reinaldo and Prudencia appeared, the former as splendid a caballero as ever, although wearing the chastened air of matrimony, the latter pre-maternally consequential.
"Yes," he said, after deep thought, "we must do what he tells us. There's no harm in that." Eve laughed. "I thought," she said, "that we understood pride in Spain and Mallorca; but I have never met such a proud caballero as you." She was standing behind him where he stood, looking grimly out of the window, her two hands resting on his broad shoulders.
"Well, since the Señor Andrew Caballero will have it so," said the other gitano, "let the sinless creature die, though God knows how much it goes against me, both because of its youth, for it has not yet lost mark of mouth, a rare thing among hired mules, and because it must be a good goer, for it has neither scars on its flank nor marks of the spur."
He was all eyes in the dusk, standing in a languid pose just clear of the shaft of light that fell through the scuttle in a square patch. I lowered my voice, too. "What life?" I asked. "Life in my uncle's palace," he said, so sweetly and persuasively that the suggestiveness of it caused a thrill in me. His uncle could nominate me to posts of honour fit for a caballero. I seemed to wake up.
The venerable turnkey, a gnome in a steeple-crowned hat, protruded a blood-red hand backwards in the direction of the postern. "Señor Caballero," he croaked, "I pray you to consider this house your own. My servants are yours." Within was a gravel yard, shut in by portentous lead-white house-sides with black window holes.
She raised her eyes slowly, he could not but feel the effort, gave him one bewildering glance, half appealing, half protesting, then dropped them suddenly. "Wilt thou stay with me?" panted the caballero. "Ay, señor! thou must not speak like that. Some one will hear thee." "I care not! God of my life! I care not! Wilt thou marry me?" "Thou must not speak to me of marriage, señor.
