Another mad dash in quest of a new consultation. Thus the sessions would go by, to the great delight of the barber Cupido the sharpest and meanest tongue in the city who, whenever the Council met, would observe to his early morning shaves: "Holiday today: the usual race of councilors bare-back."
Many of them had been girdled by the Indians to obtain the sweet inner bark, which is a favorite luxury of the Utes. We see very few birds in these mountains, which are too wild for the warblers and insect-eating birds. We met with the mountain-grouse, a bird of about the size and color of Tetrao cupido, and one or two hawks.
Rafael seized it hungrily and kissed it over and over again, until Leonora, tearing it away with a violence that showed extraordinary strength, reprimanded him sharply. "You rogue!... Up to mischief so soon! What an abuse of confidence? Good-bye! Cupido is calling you.... Good-bye." And she pushed him toward the balcony, where the barber was already holding the boat against the railing.
The kingfisher, bee-eater, roller, hoopoe, woodpeckers, etc., utter harsh cries; and the brilliant birds of the tropics are hardly ever songsters. We can perceive that if the plumage did not vary in brightness, or if bright colours were dangerous to the species, other means would be employed to charm the females; and melody of voice offers one such means. Tetrao cupido: male.
Medea in Ovid speaks thus: Frustra, Medea, repugnas, Nescio quid Deus obstat, ait. And a little later Ovid makes her add: Sed trahit invitam nova vis, aliudque Cupido, Mens aliud suadet; video meliora proboque, Deteriora sequor.
Even the miracle-working San Bernardo would be washed into the sea! When Rafael found him upon the bridge that night, after the procession, Cupido was on the point of coming to blows with several rustics, who had grown indignant at his heresies. Stepping aside from the crowd, the two began a conversation about the dangers of the flood. Cupido, as usual, was well-informed.
Cupido nearly fell off his chair.... Was he going to dress in top style for once in his life? And with those side-whiskers?... How the people in Alcira would howl if they could only see him now! And entering at once into the fun of the situation, he hastened into the next room to don his gown. "For you," Leonora said to Rafael with a motherly smile, "I could find only this fur cloak.
Kent, W.S., elongation of dorsal fin of Callionymus lyra; courtship of Labrus mixtus; colours and courtship of Cantharus lineatus. Kestrels, new mates found by. Kidney, one, doing double work in disease. King, W.R., on the vocal organs of Tetrao cupido; on the drumming of grouse; on the reindeer; on the attraction of male deer by the voice of the female.
He had plenty of time on his hands for leading such a life. Two young fellows, as crazy as their employer, tended shop. Cupido paid them with music-lessons and meals better or worse these latter, according to the day's receipts, which were divided fraternally among the three.
Rafael approached the brawlers, and by the dim lantern light recognized Cupido the barber a sarcastic fellow, with curly side-whiskers and an aquiline nose, who took great pleasure in poking fun at the barbarous, unshakable faith of the illiterate peasants. Brull knew the barber very well. The man was one of his childhood favorites.
