In a few minutes I saw a body of them enter the coffee-house marching arm in arm, two by two, stamping on the ground with their feet in a kind of measure, and repeating in loud chorus as they walked round the spacious apartment, the following grisly stanza: "Que es lo que abaja Por aquel cerro? Ta ra ra ra ra. Son los huesos de Quesada, Que los trae un perro Ta ra ra ra ra."
According to the old proverb, the dog was already seeking the shade: En Marzo busca la sombra el perro; the chilly Spaniard, loosening the folds of his capa, acknowledged that at mid-day in the sun it was almost warm. The winter rains appeared to have ceased; the sky over Seville was cloudless, not with the intense azure of midsummer, but with a blue that seemed mixed with silver.
Menocal secured it himself and it's all a matter of record the deeds, the certificate to the state, and the rest." "Menocal got it, you say?" "Nobody else. Some time or other he must have expected to water Perro Creek ranch, which he owned until he sold it to Stevenson." "I knew he had that place," said the visitor, "but I didn't know it carried a water right from the Pinas.
She ran as quickly as he did with her long, schoolgirl legs, unhampered by a woman's length of skirt. At the corner Perro, who had been keeping watch there, joined them and trotted by their side. "What cloak is this?" she asked. "It smells of tobacco." "It is my old military cloak." "And this is my wedding dress!" she said, with a breathless laugh. "And Perro is my bridesmaid."
"Make light, my friend, and we shall very soon see." Harris did so. "Here's a candle," said Santos; "light it, and watch the door. Perro mal dicto! What have we here?" I felt certain he had seen me, but the candle passed within a yard of my feet, and was held on high at the open window. "We are too late!" said Santos. "He's gone!" "Are you sure "Look at this sheet."
But as soon as we were entered, one of our company called Thomas Moon began to lay about him, and struck one of the Spaniards, and said unto him, Abaxo perro! that is in English, 'Go down, dog! One of these Spaniards, seeing persons of that quality in those seas, crossed and blessed himself.
"Yes from Torre Garda," answered Sarrion. "And it is Pietro who is driving. So you are among friends." "And dear old Perro running at the side," exclaimed Juanita, jumping up and putting her head out of the window to encourage Perro with a greeting. Her mantilla flying in the wind blew across the bishop's face which that youthful-looking dignitary endured with patience.
For Bryant there now began a period of activity compared to which his earlier efforts were mere play. Headquarters were moved down to Perro Creek, ten miles nearer Kennard. In an endless procession streamed northward automobiles crammed with labourers, wagons heaped with lumber, cement, implements, food, tents, forage, and long lines of fresnos.
Perro Creek now showed no water at all in its shallow bed; the garden planted by the Stevensons was long dried up; the sagebrush was dustier than ever; and Bryant and Dave were hauling in a barrel on a sledge water for their use from a pool in the cañon. From daybreak until about eight o'clock in the morning the engineer and his assistant worked on the canal line.
He knew where to find the chair that stood on the balcony just outside his window and sat down to listen for the rumble of the carriage across the bridge. He turned his head at the sound of a window being opened and Perro who lay at his feet lifted his nose and sniffed gently. A shaft of light lay across the balcony at the far end of the house. Juanita had opened her shutters.
