The upper part, which was approached by a ladder as a loft would be, was used as a meeting-room, while the ground floor became a temporary stable for the horses and mules, of which she was left in charge. Since the scene in that upper room in the Calle de Pescadores she had put herself outside all consideration; and Sobrenski now excluded her from all work other than the merest drudgery.
Once, years before, he had been in Italy on a Catholic pilgrimage, entrusted by his mother to the care of a priest from Valencia, who would not think of returning to Spain without paying a visit to don Carlos. A memory of a Venetian calle now came back to Rafael's mind as he traversed the streets of old Alcira shadowy, cramped, sunk deep as wells between rows of high houses.
A tramway takes us from the depot through the Calle de la Independencia, on which thoroughfare there is a statue of Hidalgo, which by its awkward pose and twisted limbs suggests the idea of a person under the influence of pulque. At the hotel Leon d'Oro, an excellent and well-served dinner was enjoyed, and it is spoken of here because such an experience is a rara avis in the republic of Mexico.
Across the Piazza, down through the Palace Court-yards and through the calle the people were flocking dark groups over which the lights of the torches flared fitfully: the nobles were waiting in their gondolas each at his palace portal, to take his place there were no sounds but the wind and the rain footsteps plashing over the wet pavements a whispered order.
The seconde of Februarie, how his mother vnspotted, obeyeng the maner of her country: brought hym into the temple, and suffred her self to be purified or clensed, whiche we calle churching of childe.
On a certain bright February morning Ben Hallock puffed up the Calle Rivera and across the plaza of Limasito as fast as his battered jitney could carry him and rushed into Baggott's hotel with an anticipatory gleam in his heavy eyes. "Hey, Jim! I got your message and I come a-hummin'!" he announced. "What is it? Vigilance Committee?" "Sort of!"
They had got as far as the eighth chapter before the meetings ended. What was the moral effect of St Luke upon the minds of two gypsies? It is not strange that Borrow should be regarded with suspicion by the Spaniards on account of his association with the Gitanos. Sometimes there would be as many as seventeen gypsies gathered together at his lodgings in the Calle de Santiago.
They had a silent contempt for the small subtleties of a man's mind, and were half ashamed of the business on which they were now engaged. As the man withdrew in obedience to Marcos' salutation, "Go with God," the clock struck twelve. "Come," said Marcos to his father, "we must go to number five, Calle de la Merced. Do you know the house?"
Candelas showed a brooch that had been given her. Clotilde offered the girls a necklace. "If you'd like to see it, I'll bring it," said she. "I've got it at home." Alicia sighed deeply; and that long sigh, broken like a child's, expressed enormous grief. She said: "I'm in love with a necklace in a shop on Calle Mayor, and I don't want any other. I dream about it all the time.
There was no sound in the calle save his own footfalls and the harsh scream of a parrot that hung in the sunshine in one of the loftiest windows; but the note of a peasant crying pots of pinks and roses in the campo came softened to Don Ippolito's sense, and he heard the gondoliers as they hoarsely jested together and gossiped, with the canal between them, at the next gondola station.
