The big senor had not given her the smiles and the funny attempts at conversation which she had come to accept as a matter of course.

The pretty senora had not been as enthusiastic as she should have been, when Teresita showed her the ruby chain which, like a child, she had brought over for the pretty senora to admire.
Therefore, Jack's lips found reason to tighten and cease their eager quivering for a kiss.

"No?
Well, I'll have to depend on my good riata, then.

I'll take that gentleman at twenty-five feet, and if I can get him to run right, I'll heel him.

Don't ride any closer, Teresita." He had not called her dulce corazon (sweetheart) as she had expected him to call her; he had not even insisted upon the kiss, but had given up altogether too tamely; and for that she rode closer to the bull in spite.
