Here, also, is a pretentious battle-piece by a native artist, representing the battle of Puebla, when the French were so completely defeated. The picture is entitled "Cinco de Mayo," the date of the conflict. It is not a fine specimen of art, but it is certainly a very effective picture. This battle of the 5th of May was another Waterloo for the French.
"Yeah, I saw your purse, tu bolsa upstairs arriba la escalera; but run to the convenience store or the grocery store for the asprin whatever is quickest. Rapidamente!" "No, dama. Hoy no tengo trabajar hasta cinco." "For Pete's sake usted es terrible perezosa. You are floja-lazy floja, floja-lazy." "I'm not none floja, please Miss. I'm your good illegal trabajadora. Don't throw me in the streets."
The Cinco Llagas was ploughing through a sea contained on every side by the blue bowl of heaven. Captain Blood uneasily mentioned it to Don Diego. "It will be for to-morrow morning," he was answered with calm conviction. "By all the saints, it is always 'to-morrow morning' with you Spaniards; and to-morrow never comes, my friend." "But this to-morrow is coming, rest assured.
George fluttering from her main truck in the morning breeze, the gilded portholes in her red hull and the gilded beak-head aflash in the morning sun. Miss Bishop was not to recognize this for that same Cinco Llagas which she had seen once before on a tragic day in Barbados three years ago.
But between the pain in his head and the confusion in his mind, he found coherent thought impossible. An indefinite sense of alarm drove him to open his eyes again, and once more to consider his surroundings. There could be no doubt that he lay in the great cabin of his own ship, the Cinco Llagas, so that his vague disquiet must be, surely, ill-founded.
MARQUESA. Qué, si me casé hace cinco meses, y vivo precisamente en el cuarto principal de esta misma casa. DOÑA MATILDE. Cuánto me alegro ... así estaremos todo el día juntas y ... pues me habían dicho que era una marquesa la que.... MARQUESA. Ésa soy yo. DOÑA MATILDE. Entonces no te has casado con aquel cadete de Algarbe....
Three steps he took before he lost his balance and went tumbling into the green depths below. When he came to the surface again, gasping for air, the Cinco Llagas was already some furlongs to leeward. But the roaring cheer of mocking valediction from the rebels-convict reached him across the water, to drive the iron of impotent rage deeper into his soul.
Aboard the Cinco Llagas some one it proved afterwards to be Hagthorpe had the wit to reply in the same fashion. The comedy was ended. Yet there was something else to follow as an epilogue, a thing that added a grim ironic flavour to the whole. As they stepped into the waist of the Cinco Llagas, Hagthorpe advanced to receive them. Blood observed the set, almost scared expression on his face.
It would require the discovery of such a burial near the centre of the immense mound to indicate such a design. The hoary-headed monarch, Popocatepetl, looms in the distance, proudly dominating the scene, with Puebla and the hill of Cinco de Mayo on the right.
The mystery of the succour that had come at the eleventh hour to wreak vengeance upon the Spaniards, and to preserve for the island the extortionate ransom of a hundred thousand pieces of eight, remained yet to be probed. That the Cinco Llagas was now in friendly hands could no longer be doubted after the proofs it had given.
