Alfonso de Toro continued the pursuit as far as the city of La Plata, which is an hundred and eighty leagues to the south of Cuzca.
The façade, repaired and spoilt, is of Renaissance severity. The interior of the building is more impressive than that of either Zamora or Toro; this is due to the absence of the choir, removed to the new cathedral, which permits an uninterrupted view of the whole church, which does not occur in any other temple throughout Spain.
A pair of horsemen would double on the deserter, and with a prod-pole to his ear and the pressure of a man and horse bearing their weight on the same, a circle would be covered and Toro always reëntered the day-herd. One such lesson was usually sufficient, and by reaching corrals every night and penning them, we managed, after two weeks' hard work, to land them in the stockyards at Fort Worth.
On receiving notice of the late revolution at La Plata, De Toro returned in all diligence to Cuzco, where he levied forces to oppose Centeno; and, having assembled the magistrates and principal inhabitants of Cuzco, he informed them of what had occurred at Las Charcas, and as there was a sufficient force in Cuzco to suppress the royalists, he thought it incumbent on him to march to La Plata for that purpose.
The snow mountains and the afternoon sun looked down upon a very pleasing scene of industry blue-jacketed workers and heaps of ore; and upon Jim Cayley also, who had enjoyed his dinner so thoroughly that he didn't think so much as before about his rejected information. But now again the Cuban kiddy drifted towards him, making for the zigzag. Jim hailed him. "Can't stop, Don Jimmy!" said Toro.
They're going to bust the mine this afternoon that's what they're going to do; and they'd knife me if they knew I was letting on." "What?" cried Jimmy. "It's a fact," said Toro, dropping the towel and feeling for a cigarette. "They're all so mighty well sure they won't be let go down to Bavaro for the Saint Gavino kick-up to-morrow that they've settled to do that.
To the west of Valladolid, on the river Duero, Toro, the second of the two great fortress cities, uplifts its Alcázar to the blue sky; like Zamora, it owed its fame to its strategic position: first, as one of the Christian outposts to the north of the Duero against the Arab possessions to the south, and, secondly, as a link between Valladolid and Zamora, the latter being the bulwark of Christian opposition against the ever encroaching Portuguese.
Confound you, Pablo, you should have known better than to drag your kill home, like an old she-cat bringing in a gopher. As for my head well, I was thrown from my horse and struck on a sharp rock. The ladies would be frightened and worried if they thought somebody was gunning for me. When Bill Conway shows up with your spark plugs I'd be obliged, Mr. Parker, if you'd run me in to El Toro.
"Good!" "What have you learnt, Toro?" "Not much." "And you, captain?" "Nothing, or next to nothing," was the reply. "And you, Hunston?" "I have gained knowledge," answered the latter; "good, useful knowledge." The other two laughed heartily at this reply. "You were always of a studious turn of mind, Hunston." "Ha, ha, ha!"
She was accompanied by a very handsome, but sullen and malicious-looking urchin of about fifteen, who appeared to be her son. She came from Toro, a place about a day's journey from Valladolid, and celebrated for its wine. One night, as we were seated in the court of the inn enjoying the fresco, the following conversation ensued between us. Lady. Vaya, vaya, what a tiresome place is Valladolid!
