We were within a quarter mile of the river, and escape of the outlaw seemed probable, when Enrique rode down on the bull, took up his tail, and, wrapping the brush on the pommel of his saddle, turned his horse abruptly to the left, rolling the bull over like a hoop, and of course dismounting himself in the act.
"The country may laugh," I answered, "but I'll not be here to hear it. Enrique has gone after my horse, and as soon as he gets in I'm leaving you for good." "You'll do nothing of the kind. You think you're all shot to pieces, don't you? Well, you'll stay right here until all your wounds heal. I've taken all these degrees myself, and have lived to laugh at them afterward.
An army was dispatched against the insurgent chief Enrique who still menaced the tranquillity of the colonists from his mountain fastnesses. When it was found impossible to reach him, peaceful methods were employed. Negotiations were opened, and a treaty of peace signed in 1533, on an island in the beautiful lake still known as Lake Enriquillo.
Again "Juan Lepe from the hermitage in the oak wood." Seven days. I would not stay longer, but in that time the ancient trees waved green again. Don Enrique had been recently to Granada. "King Ferdinand will change all matters in the West! Your islands shall have Governors, as many as necessary.
Enrique was in camp next morning, but at what hour of the night he had returned is unknown. The rodeo had been granted for the following day; there was a pressing invitation to Don Lance unless he was willing to offend to spend the idle day as the guest of Don Mateo. Enrique elaborated the invitation with a thousand adornments.
Very near, looming up against the black immensity of the sky, appeared the huge mole of El Viaducto that splendid, sinister height, that bridge spanning the city, whence so many a poor soul had bowed itself down to death in the leap of suicide. Enrique Darlés began to think again: "Yes, I'm really wounded." His ideas became more coherent.
Hanged if I know what's the matter with you, to-day! Why, you won't even listen to a fellow!" Then he took his leave. Unmoved, Enrique saw him walk away; but after that he felt a painful sensation of loneliness.
The palace will be almost empty, and we shall find her in the little gallery above the Queen's garden." The next morning we went there, Don Enrique de Cerda and his squire, Juan Lepe. The palace rose great and goodly enough, with the church at hand. All had been built as by magic, silken pavilions flying away and stout houses settling themselves down.
If you wished to stop all bullfighting here after to-morrow, you could do it, couldn't you?" "Yes," said Don Enrique proudly "I could." "Well that is what I ask of you if I win my wager," said John Dolittle. "If I can do more with angry bulls than can Pepito de Malaga, you are to promise me that there shall never be another bullfight in the Capa Blancas so long as you are alive to stop it.
His dark high-featured face was the face of a Spaniard. And his grace was the grace of a Spaniard, as he bowed sweepingly and handed Mr. Shaw a card. "Senor Don Enrique Gonzales," said Dugald, bowing in his stiff-necked fashion, "I am very happy to meet you. But as you represent His Excellency the President of the Republic of Santa Marina I suppose you come on business, Senior Gonzales?"
