"While I was drinking she said to me: "'Do you see that ring he has on his finger? If you like I'll give it to you. "And I answered: "'I would give one of my fingers to have your milord out on the mountains, and each of us with a maquila in his fist. "'Maquila, what does that mean? asked the Englishman. "'Maquila, said Carmen, still laughing, 'means an orange.
Ah! if I were only back in my own country, looking up at the white mountains! I have been insulted here, because I don't belong to this land of rogues and sellers of rotten oranges; and those hussies are all banded together against me, because I told them that not all their Seville jacques, and all their knives, would frighten an honest lad from our country, with his blue cap and his maquila!
"I gave her no answer even when I was in the street I could hear the Englishman shouting, 'Bring more maquila to-morrow, and Carmen's peals of laughter. "I went out, not knowing what I should do; I hardly slept, and next morning I was so enraged with the treacherous creature that I made up my mind to leave Gibraltar without seeing her again.
Isn't it a queer word for an orange? He says he'd like you to eat maquila. "'Does he? said the Englishman. 'Very well, bring more maquila to-morrow. "While we were talking a servant came in and said dinner was ready. Then the Englishman stood up, gave me a piastre, and offered his arm to Carmen, as if she couldn't have walked alone.
