Lie down, Fabian and Pepe, and in a minute you shall hear a bullet whistle either to the right or the left of the mark I have set up." As Bois-Rose said this, he knelt down behind his coat, ready to fire at the aspen.
At the same time when these words were written Rosarito was two years old. Pepe Rey, shut up in a school in Seville, was making lines on paper, occupied in proving that "the sum of all the interior angles of any polygon is equal to twice as many right angles, wanting four, as the figure has sides." These vexatious commonplaces of the school kept him very busy. Year after year passed.
To hear him recount his conquests was something to make one die laughing; for there are Tenorios and Tenorios, and he was one of the most original. "What girls? I don't see any girls," responded Pepe Rey. "Yes, play the anchorite!"
It was scarce visible by the uncertain light, and just possible to distinguish it as the form of a man on horseback. "Carr-rr-a-ai! it is carr-r-ai!" replied the zambo, after peering for some time through the darkness. "Keep close in, boy Pepe! hwish! Pull back dog! take place lie close I watch outside hwish!"
Pepe Rey was not fond of engaging in useless discussions; he was not a pedant, nor did he desire to make a display of his learning, and still less did he wish to do so in the presence of women, and in a private re-union; but the importunate and aggressive verbosity of the canon required, in his opinion, a corrective.
How pure a joy, dear Pepe, to restore all their lustre to the glories, epic and literary, of one's native place! And how could a man better employ the scant intellect with which Heaven has endowed him, the fortune which he has inherited, and the brief period of time on earth allowed to even the longest life. Thanks to me it will be seen that Orbajosa is the illustrious cradle of Spanish genius.
"Mercy, mercy!" he cried, "in the name of your mother for Dona Rosarita's sake, who loves you, for I know that she loves you I heard " "What?" cried Fabian, in his turn rushing towards Cuchillo, but the question expired upon his lips. Spurned along the earth by the carabinier's foot Cuchillo with head and arms stretched back was hurled into the abyss! "What have you done, Pepe?" exclaimed Fabian.
Strange it is that two men, with relations like ours, should turn up together in the middle of these desert plains. Well! strange though it be, I do not intend to let the chance escape me." Pepe appeared to have fixed his resolution upon this matter, and so firmly that his companion saw the folly of attempting to dissuade him by any further advice.
If it does, we must hesitate no longer, and although the branch of a tree is more noisy in the water than an oar, we must do our best to paddle in silence." Pepe then gently broke off a piece of wood and placed it on the water, and leaning over the edge, he and Bois-Rose watched it anxiously. There was in that place a violent eddy, caused by some deep hole in the bed of the river.
It is not every young man of the present day who would have the self-denial to spend his youth, like Jacinto, in a town where there are neither theatres, nor opera bouffe, nor dancers, nor philosophers, nor athenaeums, nor magazines, nor congresses, nor any other kind of diversions or entertainments." "I am quite contented here," responded Pepe.
