The officer" she did not say sergeant "who commanded the firing squad, he was what is called a compadre of my father " "Yes, I understand a made-brother, sealed with an oath, which binds closer than a blood-brother. It is that, is it not?" "So like that.
"Get to the point, man. What's wrong?" So Applehead, turning a darker shade of red than was his usual hue, cleared his throat and blurted out what he had to say. He had heard Shunka Chistala whinnying at midnight in the tent of Annie-Many-Ponies, and had gone outside to see what was the matter. He didn't know, he explained, but what his cat Compadre was somehow involved.
''Señor, exclaimed Pepito, 'that must be my compadre, Pedro. 'On the door being opened, they flew to one another's arms, and gave a true Mexican embrace. 'The entrance of Pedro, which evidently annoyed Mr. Livermore, awakened in my mind strange suspicions. I resolved at the earliest opportunity I had of a private interview with him, to allude to what I had overheard on the Alameda.
Rennie ought to cut losses and give that kid the boot. The way he’s going he could involve Hunt in a real mess," Cahill said. "You are Don Cazar’s good friend, Don Reese, his compadre of many years. Can you not do something?" "Don Lorenzo, all men have blind spots. And Johnny Shannon is Rennie’s. Bob Shannon helped free Hunt out of Mex prison in the war and was killed doing it.
In Mexico this connexion obliges the compadres and comadres to hospitality and honesty and all sorts of good offices towards one another; and it is wonderful how conscientiously this obligation is kept to, even by people who have no conscience at all for the rest of the world. A man who will cheat his own father or his own son will keep faith with his compadre.
"I want your big team to haul some lumber out from town. Where are they? If you don't mind catching them up while I help get this stuff unloaded, we'll have things moving around here directly." "Shore I'll ketch 'em up fur ye, soon as I find Compadre and give him this here bone. He's been kinda off his feed since that coyote clumb his frame.
Applehead had heard the disturbance and had gone out with a rifle and dispersed the coyote, but not until Compadre had lost half of his tail and a good deal of his self-assurance. Since that night, almost a week ago, Compadre had been a changed cat. He had sought dark corners and had yowled when the best friend he had in the world tried to coax him out to his meals.
Didn't he aim to get me at the first chance and free his compadre? That's why he wanted his Winchester. Say! I reckon he needs killin' about as much as anybody I know." "I can't understand it." Alaire sat down weakly. "One of my men, too." "This fellow behaved himself while I was gone, eh?" Law jerked his head in Anto's direction. "I was afraid he he'd try something.
Alvarado nodded and smiled. "Good! What would this world be without sentiment? It loves a lover. I like your spirit and I hope soon to have the pleasure of again seeing you and meeting your wife." O'Reilly flushed and stammered, whereupon the good Cuban patted him on the shoulder. "Come and see me when you get back, and bring me news of Tomas. Now, adios, compadre." "Adios, senor!
"Franke!" he called, whispering. "You coom here. You all thee time " He checked himself and smiled at the other's forethought. For Franke was emerging from a stall, carrying a halter. "Good!" he murmured. "I am forgettin' thot, compadre!" Then once more he turned admiring eyes upon the horse. "Never never haf I see a horse lak thot! Mooch good luck is comin' now, Franke! Why not?"
