We are from Andalusia, and his worship was last year receiver-general for Granada: his salary was fourteen thousand rials, with which we contrived to live very commodiously attending the bull funcions regularly, or if there were no bulls, we went to see the novillos, and now and then to the opera.
I speak wholly from hearsay, for I have myself only witnessed a corrida de novillos in which the bulls are never killed, and have cushions fixed on their horns and a curious fight between a bull and an elephant, who might have been described as an "old campaigner," in which there was no bloodshed, and much amusement.
Cavalier, they removed us from that blessed country of Granada, where our salary was fourteen thousand rials, and sent us to Galicia, to this fatal town of Lugo, where his worship is compelled to serve for ten thousand, which is quite insufficient to maintain us in our former comforts. Good-bye, I trow, to bull funcions, and novillos, and the opera.
