"I don't care about Ramos and your whims, Garman," Payne interrupted. "Of course not. Why should you? But I'd be bored to death down here if I didn't have people to play with " "Rot! You aren't the playing kind." "My dear fellow," said Garman with a deep chuckle, "if I didn't have lives to play with other people's lives I'd die of boredom.
Now, we might be smart enough to get through. A few more days out there won't hurt. How about it, Frank?" "Ten hours sleep and breakfast," Frank said. "Then a little camouflage material, new weapons, a pair of Archers in condition got any left?" "Five in stock," Joe answered. "Settled, then?" Art asked. "Here, it is," Ramos answered, and Nelsen nodded.
"Now I remember that the armed men are not there; I told them to leave this evening." "And this block of marble still doubts what he ought to do! Ramos, go into the garden and don't be a coward." "How can I go in if the door is closed?" "Get over the wall. What a snail! If I were a man " "Well, then, up! There are some broken bricks here where the boys climb over the wall to steal the fruit."
"Perhaps after you've seen the land you purchased from Senator Fairclothe. Perhaps not. Good-by." Roger looked at Ramos, watching them from a distance, and replied: "So long." Higgins sat facing the silent Seminole, who swiftly paddled the long dugout out of the little lake before the house and into a sluggish creek running into it from the northeast.
Don Raphael Nevat, revolting from Philip with his whole regiment of horse, joined general Ramos at Denia, and made themselves masters of several places of importance in the kingdom of Valencia. Flushed with such unexpected success, they penetrated to the capital of the same name, which they surprised, together with the marquis de Villa-Gracia, the viceroy, and the archbishop.
Likewise had gone the plain gold band from May Setbby's third finger. Things were desperate. Ramos and Arrellano pulled their long mustaches in despair. The letters must go off, and the Post Office allowed no credit to purchasers of stamps. Then it was that Rivera put on his hat and went out. When he came back he laid a thousand two-cent stamps on May Sethby's desk.
Listen to me, Senor Ramos. Don Jose will come out of the Casino in a moment, as usual. I want to see whether he goes into his hotel or goes past it. It is a fancy of mine, only a fancy." "What I know is that I have something to do, and that it is near twelve o'clock." "Silence!" said Remedios. "Let us hide ourselves around the corner. A man is coming down the Calle de la Triperia Alta. It is he!"
So Nelsen locked the shop, and they all tore off, out to the place, Ramos leading the way in his scooter. At the scooter club they found an ancient carnival device which used to be called a motordrome. It was a vertical wooden cylinder, like a huge, ironbound, straight sided cask, thirty feet high and wide, standing on its bottom.
Beneath the shade of an olive-tree Stood the infanta fair; A golden comb was in her hands, And well she decked her hair. To heaven she raised her eyes, and saw, That early morning-tide, A clump of spears and an armored band From Guadalquivir ride. Alfonzo Ramos with them came, The admiral of Castile. "Now welcome, Alfonzo Ramos!
So another phase began for Nelsen. Offices bored him. Amassing money, per se, meant little to him, except as a success symbol that came out of the life he had known. He figured that a man ought to be a success, even a rough-and-tumble romantic like Ramos, or Joe Kuzak. Or himself, with both distance and home engrained confusingly into his nature.
