"If one could always live in this sort of mood!" she suddenly exclaimed "This lovely peace in the glow of the sunset and the perfume of the flowers! and you, Don Aloysius, talking beautiful things! why then, one would be perpetually happy and good!

If he lend an ear to my proposals, it will be only upon very advantageous conditions, but to these it will be necessary to submit, rather than to lose everything." Don John was in earnest; unfortunately he was not aware that the Prince was in earnest also.
Don Quixote when he saw the strange garb of the penitents, without reflecting how often he had seen it before, took it into his head that this was a case of adventure, and that it fell to him alone as a knight-errant to engage in it; and he was all the more confirmed in this notion, by the idea that an image draped in black they had with them was some illustrious lady that these villains and discourteous thieves were carrying off by force.

"One doesn't have to be an Indian to know that; it's sufficient to have eyes!" "Exactly so, on snails!" repeated Don Custodio, flourishing his forefinger. "And do you know where they get them?" Again the thinking head did not know.

But at a period comparatively recent, about the end of the last century, an Intendant of Venezuela, Don Jose Avalo, again fell into the illusions which had flattered the cupidity of the Conquistadores.
"I cannot change; it is just that," said he when he got through his grimaces. "I cannot." "But why, in the name of heaven?" "Because I cannot, conscientiously." Don Rocco finally raised his eyes.
