The elder, Ariston, entertained him and frightened him out of his wits with lugubrious tales of cemeteries and ghosts; the little Aristas continued his gymnastic exercises; he had constructed a springboard by placing a plank upon a heap of sand and there he practised his death-defying leaps. One day Alonso, Tabuenca's aid, appeared in the Corralon accompanied by a woman and a little girl.
He was a sot, a croney of Tabuenca's and likewise dedicated himself to the deception of the unwary with ball-and-number tricks. Manuel knew him from having seen him often on la Ribera de Curtidores. He used to ply his trade in the suburbs, playing at three cards.
Roberto began to strike out right and left and he must have landed once upon some delicate part of Tabuenca's anatomy, for the man began to shout in horrible tones: "Assassins! Murder!" At this, several persons came running into the zaguan, among them a stout mule-driver with an oil-lamp in his hand. "What's the trouble?" he asked. "These murderers are after my life," bellowed Tabuenca.
