On one occasion in Madrid, I remember, San Isidro, who is the patron of the labouring classes, had the bad taste, as his votaries considered, to send rain on his own fiesta a thing unknown before.
Look for him at home and in the saloon, but find him wherever he is. That man who just went out now, Isidro, " "Yes," answered Isidro.
