Then he crossed his sword upon the flag, and cried out 'Soldados! you are here to defend this banner, which is the emblem of your holy faith and of your native land, against heretics, infidels and ungrateful traitors. It was a very clever thing, I assure you, Senora, and it sent every soldier to the battery with a great heart."
With very great difficulty I managed to pass the various pickets stationed along the streets, being detained by each one for cross-examination; and ere I reached my hotel I was overtaken by half a company of soldados returning to barracks with a prisoner. Then my conscience began to prick me. "This has gone rather too far," I thought.
He that first gave cause of quarrel to my Lord Winter bore a worthy name enough out of Gascony, that is arida nutrix, as we said at the Mareschal College, of honourable soldados to wit, as I said, he was Monsieur d'Artagnan.
He was a curiously nervous man of polished manners whose eyelids twitched at intervals with a sort of slow St. Vitus' dance. "What can I do, Senora?" with a blend of whimsicality and desperation. "I am an official without a staff. And Sanchez a commander stripped of his soldados." He stepped to the door with them and looked down upon the dancing, rippling waters of the bay, where two ships rode.
Lord Winter homologating mine opinion, he that called himself Athos drew each of us apart, and whispered the true names and qualities territorial of these gentlemen; the whilk, as may befall honourable soldados, they had reason sufficient to conceal while serving as private gentlemen in a regiment, though disdaining to receive halberds, as unbecoming their birth.

Estuuo este Patays en yr y en boluer, dozientos, y treynta dias.

You do not know, but I do, for I have watched thousands of your Americano soldiers here. Now, I have money too much! It is my whim to see that the soldados enjoy themselves. I have begged many a soldier to honor me by letting me purchase him a little pleasure. Come, I will show you now! Wait! I will send for a carriage not a quilez, but a victoria.
