That arm in those places is very short indeed, for I have myself met dozens of murderers rejoicing in their freedom. Hell is only for Protestants. On the door of my lodging I found one morning a written paper, well pasted on, which read: MUERA! VIVA LA VIRGEN CON TODOS LOS SANTOS! "Die! Live the Virgin and all the Saints!" That paper I took from the door and keep as a souvenir of fanaticism.
"Cobarde! muera!" cried the frantic Carlist, cleaving the offender to the eyes with the fragment of his sword. The terrible example had its effect; the men stood firm for a moment, and opened a well-aimed fire on the advancing cavalry. "Jesus Cristo!" exclaimed the young aide-de-camp. Herrera looked at him. His features were convulsed with pain.
There were two other prisoners one of whom was regarded with an interest equal to that felt at the sight of the outlaw himself. This prisoner was his mother.

"Se les muera," y no sólo "se muera." Trabalhos de Jesus, part i. De Musset. "A voice crying in the wilderness!" ISA. xl. 3. Need is that I bring to a conclusion, for the present at any rate, these essays that threaten to become like a tale that has no ending.
