When everybody's attention was occupied with the festivities during the night of the fandango, and he had succeeded in filling José with the proper amount of aguardiente, he would slip quietly away with the horse and conceal him at his hacienda. Caramba! what a horse the like of which there was not in all Mexico! And Juan Ramon, the champion vaquero of Chihuahua, was the man to ride him!
When Bill finally drew up before the ranch house door with his usual flourish of staccato explosions, Oscar alighted and watched Pen and his wife crawl feebly from the tonneau. "Caramba!" he said. "That was a fine ride! I've been wanting to get a look at that country and a talk with you, Bill, for a month. I feel well rested."
Garcia, who had been standing in his stirrups scanning the long, flat road ahead, spoke sharply: "CARAMBA! Here come those very soldiers now! See!" Far away, but evidently approaching at a smart gait, was a body of mounted men. After one look at them Dave cried: "Into the brush, quick!"
The perplexed General looked after her for a moment, pulling his grizzled moustache. "Caramba!" he muttered. "To understand these feminines? Decidedly, this charming child must be sent into safety to-morrow." And shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, he strode in the direction of the firing. Ten minutes' sharp fighting, and the skirmish was over.
"Caramba! you will not? Take aim, men fire." A jagged flash of flame cleaved the night. It lit the steep bank, flinging a bright glare across the dark waters. In that instant I saw, my face set shoreward, a dozen black figures clustered in a bunch. One ball crashed into the planking close beside my hand, hurling a splinter of wood against my face.
These restless Americanos, who bought pieces of land that were not large enough to pasture a goat, and called them ranchos caramba! what fools they were, always a-hurrying about! The wagon had stopped. Well, it would be time enough to move when some one called.
Again, I remember, I was in Monterey, and he was there; his father and I were both members of the Deputation. Caramba! what hot words passed between us! But I was thinking of Diego. I took a volume of Shakespeare from him one day. 'Thou art too young to read such books, I said. 'A baby reading what the good priests allow not men to read.
Captain Forest's interest began to be aroused. "Caramba 'tis strange!" muttered old Miguel, eyeing his glass meditatively; his head nodding slightly from the effects of too much liquor. "But what will Padre Antonio say when he hears of it? How fortunate he wasn't here to witness a sight that must have caused him the deepest humiliation.
That was his only epitaph. We had no time to sorrow for any one just then, though we mourned for him sincerely enough afterwards. "Charge!" roared the colonel; and the sabres flashed as the horses bounded forward, thundering with their hoofs on the ground. "Caramba!" cried Plaza; "it's your old friend Mariano. Well, friend or foe, this is his last fight if my blade can reach him."
What was left looked like a monster of some unknown species; a creature with no head, a huge belly, and two tails. "Caramba!" exclaimed Adan, "I could not eat that even if we had anything to cook it with. It looks like a mass of poison." "I should like to know where that poison was last night.
