And, Jack, you've got everything coming your way, and well, seems like you might go easy on this fight, no matter what José wants. He's crazy jealous, of course but you want to recollect that he has plenty of cause. You've stepped in between him and a girl he's known all his life. They were practically engaged, before " "I don't know as José's love affairs interest me," put in Jack harshly.
"There is no way, Señora, except for a coward. I have done what I could; I know that José's skill is great with riatas, and the choice was mine. I might have said pistols," he reminded her gently, but with meaning. The plump hands of the señora went betrayingly into the air and her earrings tinkled with the horror that shook her cushiony person. "Not pistols!
He is known in the country under the name of José Navarro, and he is a man to be seen." I went to see the prisoner, and took him some cigars. At first he shrugged his shoulders and received me coldly, but I saw him again on the morrow, and passed a part of the day with him. It was from his mouth I learnt the sad adventures of his life. III. Don José's Story
Instead she nearly cracked José's head! Everybody laughed, and then it was Lupito's turn. Lupito was a great man at roping bulls, or breaking wild horses, but he couldn't hit the boat with his eyes covered any better than Carmen had. Then José tried. He struck the piñata but it was only a love-pat. The boat swung back and forth a little, but not a thing dropped overboard.
"What about the riata?" he cried. "Do you know where it is?" "Sí, Señor. Me, I took it from the señor's saddle, for I feared harm would be done if it were left there to tempt those who would laugh to see the señor dragged to the death to-day. Señor, that is José's purpose; from a San Vincente vaquero I heard and he had it from the lips of Manuel.
It required but a moment for Law to master him, to wrench the weapon from his grasp, and then, with the aid of José's silk neck-scarf, to bind his wrists tightly. From the front of the little house came the crash of a door violently slammed as Rosa profited by the diversion to save herself.

"I've fired Jose's and Pancho's gangs; they've been asking for it for some time," Stuyvesant remarked. "In fact, I'd clear out most of the shovel boys if I could replace them. They've been saving money and are getting slack." The others agreed that it might be advisable.
But José had certain positive qualities, had these gossips but known it, which endeared him to his companions; although among them could never be numbered gratitude, a lively appreciation of benefits received or a tried and true affection. Certainly a dog-like fidelity was not among José's virtues.
A girl who was always laughing and who always wore a red bow on her head. He, Alaric, would go with his son as far as the cypress hedge, bordering the west side of the lake. There he would wait for the child to do his errand and return, and would himself be out of sight of that old sharpshooter, whom he feared. He had another inspiration of generosity and greed commingled. That lamb of José's.
