"Juan Crisostomo Ibarra? Who is he?" asked his Excellency, handing the paper to his neighbor. "A joke in very bad taste!" exclaimed Don Custodio. "To sign the name of a filibuster dead more than ten years!" "A filibuster!" "It's a seditious joke!" "There being ladies present "
"How can that woman fail to see," thought Manuel, "that the fellow loves only himself? While I...." On Sundays there used to be dancing on a lawn near the Ronda de Segovia, and Senor Custodio, with his wife, Justa and her sweetheart, would go there. They would leave Manuel behind to watch the house, but at times he would run off to see the dance.
Nor are these etceteras to be taken like those ordinarily placed after a long enumeration of titles: Don Custodio, although never having seen a treatise on hygiene, came to be vice-chairman of the Board of Health, for the truth was that of the eight who composed this board only one had to be a physician and he could not be that one.
"Let's hear it," said the General with a frown. "Well, General, it's very simple," replied Don Custodio, drawing himself up and assuming his hollow voice of ceremony. "The schools are open only on week-days and the cockpits on holidays. Then convert these into schoolhouses, at least during the week." "Man, man, man!" "What a lovely idea!" "What's the matter with you, Don Custodio?"
Angelo Custodio said that whenever I should wish to make another voyage up the Tapajos, he would be always ready to serve me as pilot. Alberto was undemonstrative as usual; but Ricardo, with whom I had had many sharp quarrels, actually shed tears when he shook hands and bid me the final "adios."
Padre Salvi!" "I told him not to eat that bird's-nest soup," said Padre Irene. "It has made him sick." "But he didn't eat anything," rejoined Don Custodio shivering. "As the head has been staring at him fixedly, it has mesmerized him." So disorder prevailed, the room seemed to be a hospital or a battlefield.
Therefore the king showed great esteem for us, and the kingdom feared us; that province was subdued and we returned to the king. At this time a vessel arrived from Sian, and ported here on its way to an embassy at Manila. On board this vessel were father Fray Pedro Custodio and some Portuguese. The king was greatly delighted at the arrival of the father and wished to build him a church.
Don Custodio, the active Don Custodio, the most active of all the arbiters in the world, according to Ben-Zayb, was occupied with it, spending his days reading the petition and falling asleep without reaching any decision, waking on the following day to repeat the same performance, dropping off to sleep again, and so on continuously.
The ragman, Senor Custodio, that was what he gave as his name, looked like a good-natured soul. From time to time he would bend over, pick up something from the street and throw it into the cart.
In the afternoon Senor Custodio would go to certain stables in the Argueelles district to clean out the manure and take it to the orchards on the Manzanares.
