Long live the Castilian tongue!"
"I wouldn't, if I were as sick as you are," said Carr, "but I've a stomach like a Harlem goat." He stooped and lowered his voice. "Now, here are two fake filibusters," he whispered. "The men you read about in the newspapers. If a man's a real filibuster, nobody knows it!"

He wants his picture painted by the celebrated young American painter and filibuster now sojourning in his down-trodden country. Off you go." The victoria sped away with the artist.

"Juan Crisostomo Ibarra? Who is he?" asked his Excellency, handing the paper to his neighbor. "A joke in very bad taste!" exclaimed Don Custodio. "To sign the name of a filibuster dead more than ten years!" "A filibuster!" "It's a seditious joke!" "There being ladies present "
