The fellow now began to talk in Gallegan to the bystanders (several
persons having collected), wishing the _Denho_ to take him if he knew
anything of the missing property.  Nobody, however, seemed inclined to
take his part; and those who listened only shrugged their shoulders.  We
returned to the portal of the _posada_, the fellow following us,
clamouring for the horse-hire and _propina_.  We made him no answer, and
at length he went away, threatening to apply to the _justicia_; in about
ten minutes, however, he came running back with the girth in his hand.
“I have just found it,” said he, “in the street: your servant dropped
it.”

I took the leather and proceeded very deliberately to count out the sum
to which the horse-hire amounted, and having delivered it to him in the
presence of witnesses, I said, “During the whole journey you have been of
no service to us whatever; nevertheless, you have fared like ourselves,
and have had all you could desire to eat and drink.  I intended, on your
leaving us, to present you, moreover, with a _propina_ of two dollars;
but since, notwithstanding our kind treatment, you endeavoured to pillage
us, I will not give you a _cuarto_: go, therefore, about your business.”

All the audience expressed their satisfaction at this sentence, and told
him that he had been rightly-served, and that he was a disgrace to
Galicia.  Two or three women crossed themselves, and asked him if he was
not afraid that the _Denho_, whom he had invoked, would take him away.
At last, a respectable-looking man said to him, “Are you not ashamed to
have attempted to rob two innocent strangers?”

“Strangers!” roared the fellow, who was by this time foaming with rage,
“innocent strangers, _carracho_! they know more of Spain and Galicia,
too, than the whole of us.  Oh, _Denho_, that servant is no man, but a
wizard, a _nuveiro_.—Where is Perico?”

He mounted Perico, and proceeded forthwith to another _posada_.  The
tale
not paid him. ” 

 The fellow now began to spill the beans in Gallegan to the bystander (several 
 persons having gather), wish the _ Denho _ to take him if he knew 
 anything of the miss property.   Nobody, however, seemed disposed to 
 remove his share; and those who listened only shrugged their shoulder.   We 
 returned to the portal site of the _ posada _, the fellow following us, 
 clamor for the horse - hire and _ propina _.   We made him no answer, and 
 at distance he went away, threatening to apply to the _ justicia _; in approximately 
 ten minutes, however, he came operate back with the girth in his hand. 
 “ I have just find it, ” said he, “ in the street: your servant dropped 
 it. ” 

 I took the leather and proceeded very intentionally to count out the sum 
 to which the horse - hire amounted, and having delivered it to him in the 
 presence of witnesses, I said, “ During the whole journey you have been of 
 no service to us whatever; however, you have do like ourselves, 
 and have had all you could hope to corrode and drink in.   I intended, on your 
 leaving us, to portray you, moreover, with a _ propina _ of two dollars; 
 but since, notwithstanding our kind treatment, you endeavoured to plunder 
 us, I will not give you a _ cuarto _: go, therefore, about your business. ” 

 All the audience expressed their satisfaction at this sentence, and told 
 him that he had been rightly - served, and that he was a disgrace to 
 Galicia.   Two or three women cross themselves, and asked him if he was 
 not afraid that the _ Denho _, whom he had raise, would take him away. 
 At last, a respectable - looking man say to him, “ Are you not ashamed to

 “ Strangers! ” roared the fellow, who was by this time foaming with fad, 
 “ innocent stranger, _ carracho _! they know more of Spain and Galicia, 
 too, than the whole of us.   Oh, _ Denho _, that handmaid is no man, but a

 He mounted Perico, and proceeded immediately to another _ posada _.   The
