"Señor," he said, "near to my rose-pink castle which looks into the Ebro dwells a magician also." "Is it so?" said Rodriguez. "Indeed so, señor," said Don Alvidar.
Worse than that alternative dirty drab, your recurring rose-pink is rebuked by hideous revelations of the filthy foul; for nature will force her way, and if you try to stifle her by drowning, she comes up, not the fairest part of her uppermost!
