"To-morrow!" exclaimed Don Estevan; "and who knows but that to-morrow may be too late? Is the night not better for your purpose? Are you not three to one? Who is to assure you that to-morrow I may not change my mind?" This threat seriously alarmed Cuchillo. "Carramba! your excellency is quick to decide; you are not one of those who leave for to-morrow what should be done to-day.
At this movement the tasajo, beginning to sputter over the coals, gave out an odour that resembled the smell of a dying lamp. Notwithstanding this, Baraja cast towards it a look of longing. "It appears to me Senor Cuchillo," said he, "that you are well provided here. Carramba! tortillas, of wheaten meal! tasajo! it is a repast for a prince!"
"Carramba!" cried he, "I am curious to know which of us that bit of lead was intended for, you or myself, young man; for I have heard your conversation, and I am no stranger to this affair of Elanchovi." "Elanchovi!" exclaimed the Canadian. "What! do you know anything of Elanchovi?" "Ah, well do I," answered Pepe.
And to-morrow, if everything has been satisfactorily arranged, he can start at dawn, and be here again shortly after mid-day." "Carramba! With all submission, senor, what you propose is impossible. No man could possibly do it," exclaimed Don Sebastian, throwing up his hands. "But why not, man, why not?" persisted George. "Why not?" reiterated the Governor.
Up and down the hill and in every direction he sent his sweeping, careful gaze, his far-sighted eyes taking in every detail of the landscape. Then he came toward Pearl, over the bare, brown earth, running low. "Oh, José, José," she cried, almost hysterical in her relief, "Harry is down there," pointing to the cliff, "hurt, and you must help me get him up, you must." "Carramba!
"Carramba, Senor Capitano," said Captain Farmer, trying to soothe him. "You do yourself an injustice. I can't see where you were to blame!" "Ah, but I do," he answered doggedly, as if he had made up his mind on the point and no argument would persuade him to the contrary.
Something had happened to call the firm of Muñoz y Sanchez elsewhere, and Dago, darkly glowering and scowling about the store, where day and night the bookkeeper sat absorbed in accounts and letters, muttered many a carramba, and had even been goaded into explosive carrajo, because a defrauded soldiery, thirsting for revenge or restitution, persisted in connecting him with these skilled but quite unprincipled experts of the alluring game of monte, whereas Dago hated the sight of Muñoz, of whom he stood in dread.
And Ignacio gritted his teeth and simply glared at him, following back and forth his every move, as a cat might. "I may have a chance yet," he hissed, under his breath. "Carramba, if I only had him by the throat!" But Clif paid no more attention to the Spaniard. He had other things to attend to, things to keep him busy. It was not very long before that was especially true.
Saying this, he lays hold of a leg, and drags the ostrich nearer to his horse, which all the time stands tranquilly by: for a gaucho's steed is trained to keep its place, without need of any one having care of it. "Carramba!" he exclaims, raising the bird from the ground, "what a weight the thing is! Heavy as a quarter of beef!
Think of what you could do with one hundred and fifty dollars of the Yankee's money. Think of what it would buy food and I know not what a fine dress for your sweetheart, to take her away from that rival of yours. And it is all good money, too." "How am I to know it?" "Carramba! Couldn't you take my word. You know me, Jose, and what I do for Spain. Do you not know that I am a friend of Blanco's?
