"Not at all, madam; that is a game-bird. The national amusements of Spain are bull-fighting and cock-fighting," returned Mr. Webb. "I was in Madrid one Sunday, and the programme for the day was a cock-fight at one, a bull-fight at three, and the Italian opera at six; and I went to all of them." "On Sunday?" queried the lady.
"I desire to tell you, Madden, that at eight o'clock I'll have a warrant for you to serve on the engineer Weir. You'll go to the dam and arrest him and bring him in to the jail." "Well, apparently the whole country except me knew this was to happen. The town's filling up as if it were going to be a bull-fight." "I know nothing of that." "All right; give me the warrant." "At eight o'clock.
"I will go and speak to Jovita," said José, and he went, leaving the four together. The two simpler ones were somewhat abashed by the splendor of the dashing figure; they gazed at it with mingled curiosity and joy. To be so near it was enough, without effort at conversation. Sebastiano moved to Pepita's side. A Spanish lover loses little time. "I saw you," he said, "at the bull-fight."
But she did not know what to do. There was nothing but to wait in this fever of strange misery and unrest, which grew more cruel every day; and at the bull-fight if he would only look perhaps yes, if he saw her face, he would understand and come. In the days before the great entertainment took place she was like some little savage creature at bay.
As the party on the corridor broke, Rezanov found no difficulty in reaching Concha's side, for even Dona Ignacia was chattering wildly with several other good dames who renewed their youth briefly at the bull-fight. "Did you enjoy that?" he asked curiously. "I did not look at it. I never do. But I know that you were not affronted. You never took your eyes from those dreadful beasts."
I should soon be as wild as she is. That would not be comfortable." "I wish I was going, Antonio. There's two things I'd give a lot to see. One's a railroad." "She'll see one when she strikes Missouri." "The other's a bull-fight." "I've seen lots of them; I wish I could see another."
The first time she had gone to the old well for water, and as she stood resting in the shade a moment he appeared With a bouquet of beautiful strange flowers in his hand. "God be with you!" he said, and laid the flowers down a moment and drew the water for her. She watched him draw it, smiling just a little. "It will be a fine day for the bull-fight," he said, when her jar was filled.
Many persons have described a bull-fight, but generally their emotions have overwhelmed them so that they have seen only part of one performance, and consequently have been obliged to use an indignant imagination to help out a very faulty recollection. This is my excuse for giving one more account of an entertainment which can in no way be defended.
"I don't know Cogan didn't wait to see but of course." "Of course," echoed the passenger, and in silence resumed his study of the ship's bow cutting through the little seas. The passenger turned inboard. "But Cogan where is he?" "There was no Cogan." "No Cogan." "No, no Cogan." "And no bull-fight, and no Valera, and no Torellas, nor Juan, and it never happened?"
Finally, on Saturday morning why forty-eight hours only is allowed for the supposed entombment does not quite appear the bells clang forth, noise and gaiety pervade the whole city, and the day ends with a cock-fight and the reopening of the theatres, and the first grand bull-fight of the season is held on Easter Sunday.
