And all the time they were yelling at us, "Que vienen, puercos! Que vienen!" I was puzzled. Both Cress and I thought they were Mexicans, but Tomas insisted they were Lipans. And sure enough it was the Lipans all spoke Spanish and dressed like Mexican peons. Whoever they might be, we could not stay where we were.
At every house the question was, "¿De donde vienen, Señores?" "Where are you from, gentlemen?" and when we told them, "¿Y estaban allí las langostas?" "And were the locusts there?" The whole country was being devastated by them; and the large rewards offered for them to the peasants, though they caused dead locusts to be brought by tons, seemed hardly to diminish their numbers.
I could hear him say to some one below, who appeared to have arrived in great haste, for he gasped for breath. "Aqui viene la feluca," answered Pedro; "perseguido por dos Lanchas Canoneras llenas de Gente." "Abordo entonces, abordo todo el mundo; arma arma, aqui vienen los Engleses; arma, arma!" And all from that instant was a regular hillabaloo.
Que vienen por el amor de Dios! Aqui esta un muerto." Others came quickly, but it was not a dead man they found, as their mate had called. Dragged from under the mesquite and carried to the fire, Loving was found still breathing.

He was far into the dark valley and within the very shadow of Death. Help must come to him; he could not go to it. Luckily it came. While some were unharnessing the teams, others wert out to fetch firewood. In the darkness one Mexican, thinking he saw a big mesquite root, seized it and gave a tug. It was Loving's leg. Startled and frightened, the Mexican yelled to his mates: "Que vienen, hombres!
Luego, después que la innovación se ha admitido, se encuentra que parece lo más natural y lógico porque las cosas siguen su curso normal, las estrellas ruedan y brillan lo mismo que antes en el azul y las montañas altas no se vienen abajo.
Henry de Brederode, lord of Vienen and marquis of Utrecht, was descended from the ancient counts of Holland. This illustrious origin, which in his own eyes formed a high claim to distinction, had not procured him any of those employments or dignities which he considered his due. He was presumptuous and rash, and rather a fluent speaker than an eloquent orator.
El padre sigue haciendo del negado, y cuando vienen segunda vez entrambos a importunarle, se lleva la niña de un brazo y despide para siempre al amador.
