Carramba! a curious bird, the avestruz is altogether, and a useful one, as we've now good reason to know. So, senoritos, let us be thankful to Providence that there's such a plenty of them on these pampas, and above all, for guiding the steps of this fine specimen, as to place it so directly and opportunely in our way."
Jose, we have in our power the worst of our country's enemies. Jose, he is a fiend, a perfect devil. He has ruined nearly every plan I tried. Do you know if it had not been for him yes, for him I should have stabbed the great pig admiral." "Carramba!" "Yes." "Not Sampson." "Yes, he, the villain who is blockading Havana and destroying our ships.
Carramba! they're ugly devils to look at, and still uglier to have dealings with; that is, when one's in the water alongside them as we ourselves know. Still they don't always behave so bad, as these did to-day. When I crossed this stream before, with the dueno, neither he nor I felt the slightest shock to tell of eels being in it. I suppose it's the tormenta that's set them a stirring.
"Why, in that case," coolly added Benito, "the tiger would undoubtedly show his gallantry to his female by killing a pair of us." "Carramba!" fervently exclaimed Baraja. "I pray the Lord that this tiger may be a bachelor," and as he said this he flung a fresh armful of fagots on the fire. "Gently, amigo! gently," interrupted the ex-herdsman, lifting off some of the sticks again.
"Carramba!" cried the Senator, after inhaling a few mouthfuls of it, "it is fire, not air, one has to breathe here. If these hovels were not a complete nest of snakes and scorpions, I should prefer staying in them until night, rather than launch myself into this dreadful furnace."
His boot was so wide that he might have had his foot in a bucket, and he wore a cutlass at his side suspended from a buff belt, which passed over his right shoulder. 'I've had a new coat o' paint all over, said he, with a wink. 'Carramba! the old ship is water-tight yet. What would ye say, now, were I about to sling my hawser over a little scow, and take her in tow? 'A cow! I cried.
"Carramba!" he explains, as if some new idea had entered his head, "I couldn't have believed in a man suffering so much from such a trifling cause." "What are you referring to?" interrogates the doctor. "The thing you're thinking of at this moment, amigo mio. I'll make a wager it's the same." "As you know, colonel, I never bet." "Nor I upon a certainty, as in this case it would be.
The only thing I kept back was the horse you see, and even him my ex-intendant insisted upon having as part of the bet. To-day I have no other hope than to make my fortune in this Tubac expedition, and if I should do so I may get back, and settle accounts with the knave. After that game, however, I swore I should never play another card; and, carramba! I have kept my oath."
When he shall have established the fact that Don Estevan's return is impossible and as young girls do not readily meet with Senators in the heart of the desert nor do the latter often find there girls whose marriage portion is worth two hundred thousand piastres " "Carramba! that is a high figure."
"Carramba!" he exclaimed, as he retreated back within his pantry. "Fora, maldito!" When offered a weapon, Ching Wang only smiled that innocent bland smile of his, producing his own long knife, that had a blade like an American bowie, being over a foot long and with a double edge.
