The two soldiers behind the fellow cackled merrily at his wit, and the encouraged turnkey tried again. "We shall trouble you but a little time. Only a few questions, senor, an order, and then poco tiempo, after a short walk to the gallows paradise." "What what do you mean?" gasped the girl whitely. "Never mind, muchacho.

Anyhow, he says to come in, gruff-like, an' to wait, poco tiempo. "Well, we waited moucho tiempo muy moucho, all a-settin' on the edge of the sofy, with our hats on our knees, like philly-loo birds on a rail, and a-countin' of the patterns in the wall-paper to pass the time along.
El monopolio ejercido por el hombre sobre las funciones públicas, ha sido, como otras tantas instituciones ahora desaparecidas, basado en la fuerza y violencia y con el fin de perpetuarlo se parapeta detrás de la muralla de prejuicios levantada a costa del tiempo y del orden de cosas establecido, lanzando de allí los dardos de la sátira y del ridículo contra aquéllos que demandan la cesación de ese estado de violencia.
If Bondsman had lacked any further proof of his master's intention to journey far, the canvas telescope suitcase would have been conclusive evidence.

It makes no difference what the nationality of a vessel is; the minute she enters the territorial waters of the United States of America she is amenable to the laws of the United States of America, one of which reads thusly: 'Thou shalt pay thy bills; and if thou dost not, then poco tiempo thou shalt be made to pay them, even unto the seizure and sale of thy ship. And with the purchase of that ship, under an order of sale issued by the United States District Court, she becomes a United States ship; we register her as such; and the United States simply has to stand back of the bill of sale it gave us.
A newspaper, El Tiempo, which had been denouncing lynching in the United States, changed front when these Negroes arrived in that country. Going in quest of new opportunities and desiring to reenforce the civilization of Liberia, 197 other Negroes sailed from Savannah, Georgia, for Liberia, March 19, 1895.
""But I aims to drink some more poco tiempo," says this Caribou Sam, who is new to Lido, an' never yet hears of Jack Rainey an' his little game, "an' before I permits a gent to subsidize my thirst, an' go stackin' in for my base appetites, you can gamble I want to meet him an' make his acquaintance. Where is this yere sport Jack Rainey, an' whatever is he doin' this on?"
Perhaps no one in that age had read more of those books, or was so deeply imbued with their spirit. See the Viaje del Parnaso, chapter iv: "Y he dado en Don Quixote pasatiempo Al pecho melancolico y mohino En cualquiera sazon, en todo tiempo."
