[bodytext] => Don Jose Sor now arbitrates but fails to pacify, then Diego gives joke. Example shows of Segundo's tall tales. In minds, amusing story laughter woke. "Well, yes gentlemen," Don Jose arbitrated. "Whaling and bullfighting are alike in several ways, pitting man against beast, albeit with different purpose. I enjoy watching bullfights but know that half of the world's lights are fueled by whale oil." Diego Silva spoke. " I've seen wonderful bull fights in the plaza, Excellency. It's good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Cock fighting's good too. I once won thirty ‘pesetas' on a white bird named ‘Blanco Malo'" "What did you do with so much money," Dona Rose asked with astonishment. "I bought silver for Bravo." "Nothing on self?" "Well, maybe just a little for bullets." Huerra smiled, giving explanation. "Segundo shoots rattlesnakes, senora. We occasionally see them at Oro." Explanation was given, but Huerra's eyes and mind were fixed on Margarita; soul ached with desire. It didn't matter what she wanted, he'd have her. Dona Rose spoke to the skinny man with the big mustachio. " Is it true, Senor Silva, one can tell a snake's age by the number of rattles it has?" "Some believe that, senora. I think it's all guess. Biggest snake I ever killed had only six rattles. It was so old it couldn't see." " How big was it, Senor Silva?" " It was ------- ah----------it was seven feet long. It was the biggest snake I'd ever seen without the use of tequila."
