I'm used to something else ... well ... a disappointment! ... The sea! ... That was not possible! ... Then Rafael is a rare man he does not speak, do not say anything, one sees that something happens, you have a concern, and he says nothing ... And I've spent a year locked up ... there ...- Locked ? - the wonder."Well ... shut up, shut up, no, but come on, I have not gone anywhere. I was sometimes at El Pedroso to see him and my shawl as a gypsy, because he does not like hats or dresses, or those things, I did not like me! there I have you locked up, and asking the Virgin, the days of run, I take him out with it, because, to see!, my bread is yours, and you will see, what a life of anxiety !"And you were happy with him"? I asked."With him, yes, alone with him would have been very happy, but your family! ... then it is so strange! ... see ... so there was a shadow on the run at night, a female escapes in day ... end! .. I do not know if neurasthenia or what, but you know that I have not had anyone ever say anything qua!, And jealousy, well, see you!, That her jealousy is the same as when it fired his crew because I thought I threw some powder coats to leave the blind to the bulls."Well, Pastor, but do you want? "The question. Pastorathought for a moment.I do not know ... If we had been alone I would have been very happy with it. I do not understand that guy ... A man like him, who studied before the bulls, because in the square with the cape does what wants, drives the bull to taste what you make it, finally, to study!., and then at home ... I do not understand. So you see, when I learned that my poor father was sick came to him and asked tank at home ...- What did you found your divorce?-In irreconcilable differences, "he replied weakly Pastora.- No, "I said," our laws do not yet support that rationale, of course, but for us it is still illegal,"Well, I founded in abuse, "he said Pastora."And, indeed, does the abuser to you? I asked the Empire.And Pastora, lowering his head, he replied:- Yes ..."However, I told her," I know that you have withdrawn the divorce petition."Yes, I have retired.- Why? ..."First, because this divorce in Spain, is a nonsense, it costs money, let them carry the curia, and nothing is achieved practical ... I know that Rafael will not doing very well off ... this divorce was going to cost a lot of drives that need ... and also ... As you see, because I know the precarious state of Rafael and knew that the court would send all the places an order, and you just imagine ... a bullfighter bullfighting is sixty sixty thousand dollars, and no! I will not hurt you, I will not do the least harm, no, sir. I told my father and my poor father replied: "If you like, do it." Then, look at you! my father would have hastened the death of these troubles, and yet you see you! all believed that Raphael enter through that door, to death because everything is forgotten, no resentment, no lasting hatreds to a disaster like this, and Rafael did not come. We all thought it would come to the funeral, because they have been many people who did not even know, and Rafael did not come! Look, he gets to come, forget everything, nothing happens, we receive here in clapping."But we'll see, Pastor-la said, you're in love with Rafael, right?"You see, when I withdrew the divorce petition! ...

I have already two to the Imperial Hall, from here, and the Trianon Palace, Madrid, in five hundred pesetas a day! What do I do? I have a family! We need to live!- Do you want something to Rafael? "I told Pastor, goodbye. I'll see.- Who! - I replied; not receive you, will not tell you anything. If it harder to get the words! ... And do not let yourself think you portray, you will not get it!Pastora I left after Alfonso surprised us with the goal of his indiscreet machine and went to lunch at the hotel to go to the two to see Gallo.At the door, I asked Pastor:"Well, Pastor ... you will be reconciled? ..."No ... we are irreconcilable ... No way! ...- So ... you will go to the scene?- YesHotel In Madrid, where we lodged by mistake, because we were ill-served, we find the charming Carlos Olmedo, photo correspondent for the Herald, which he offered to accompany home of Gallo.And off we went. With us came the brother of Gallo, Fernando, and the popular director of the troupe "The old rich."popular told Olmedo, Antonio del Lunar to say to Rafael that "we were there," and we go to the office, which had been evacuated to avoid water destroyed the furniture,AndGallo got out of bed, and not fixed, so they do not we wait, with the neck of American English gorrilla uploaded and travel to the office came to see us.The popular torero received us very affectionately.- What? - told us. How's London?How is the public? ...-Desiring applaud, "he replied."I love you very much to the public that," he replied Gallo.Rafael Gomez ordered his sword handler to bring a box of cigars, and Antonito el del Lunar proud brought a box of cigars, which he distributed. I felt no smoke to be savored.With the natural softness broached the subject of the Empire, all I heard were silent and looked at Gallo, Rafael, very serious, he replied, gloomily:-not talk about that. Tell me about bulls!torero I could convince the sincerity of my words, and weighing down their sentences, with a bitter tone in his voice do, I was saying"These are very intimate things. What do I know? Everyone knows what you do at home! Especially ... The first thing a man should be is ... Man! And be ashamed ... and dignity! And the shame and dignity is sacrificed when it is all man!'s brother Rooster, staring at him, listened attentively to his words Antoñito depended on the lunar Rafael's lips, the nice Cadiz of the troupe of 'Old rich "fervently hoped the demonstrations of Gallo, in the faces of the first civilian government official Sevilla Afan de Rivera and Alfonso Olmedo and was portrayed expectation."Look," Gallo continued to tell me the - women what happens to the bulls, that when they are twisted once, and there is no one fix ...A silence followed the words of Raphael, the bullfighter continued saying:"Just imagine: I was in El Pedroso, and my wife, without my permission, he left home, and as he had not two days, my mother telegraphed: "Come, and I came ... Do you think he did well Pastora going away?All are silent. The Gallo continued- What could have my complaint? I had not put his hand over!"But - interrupted the Gallo- the Empire has filed for divorce based on abuse."In something had to establish it," he answered the bullfighter, "I have never laid a hand on, and I also know many women who kill their husbands beatings and even break sticks over their backs, and they do not leave the gate because they want and respect them and do what they say them, but do you think a woman can leave her home, in the absence of her husband, and not appear in two days, just like that? ... He also ... the Rooster paused, then continued bitterly"Besides, when a woman is twisted once there was none to fix, and I, you know, I have shame and dignity above all , y. .. Can not be! ...Pause. All are silent. I asked suddenly Gallo:"But she says that jealousy of you are like your idea of \u200b\u200bthe crew threw powder capes to spoil the bulls ...There was a moment of astonishment. All depended on the face of the bullfighter. Alfonso turned pale.The Gallo, very dignified, very gentleman, with an assurance of sincerity dripping with bitterness, he replied:"Look, these are intimate, some very intimate and very painful. Maybe it has a figurations that ...! Anyway ... let's talk about something else!Another silence, and I decided to talk of bulls to disprove the effect of memory sad- Do you as many runs for the next season, "I asked.'s face became animated Gallo, smiling, I shiver all the muscles, as if waking suddenly from a horrible nightmare:"Yes, sir, one in Alicante, four in Pamplona, \u200b\u200band seven in Valencia, seven in Seville, nine in Madrid, two in Jerez, three in Barcelona, \u200b\u200btwo in Cartagena, two, in Cáceres, two in Cordoba, two, in Almería, and three in Granada - Gallo I replied, beaming .- And your crew? - I asked."Well look at you. I'm going to say. The picks are ... Well! .. Antonio Chaves, the poor thing, he does not know yet if he died or not."I think so," he said. I've talked to Borbolla and told me not, and all those rumors about his disappearance is unfounded.- Poor! As the English boy Salsoso and Felipe.

Cock explained, pointing to the stuffed heads!"This one killed my brother Joseph in Valencia, the bull was three, my hermaniyo, fourteen. This, as ugly, is a bull Navarro, Carriquirri, I shot in Barcelona and I was very good, is the bravest bull I've ever fought. This is a Miura killed in a bullfight in Madrid that I fought with Manolete and Pazos. Pazos was caught in one hand and I killed four bulls, and in which I was very good. This is the second place went to Madrid after the affair of the Miura, and I fell from above, and this is one of the Widow, who killed in the Machaco Ecija, and the War touched my palm., Antonio del Lunar pulled a rich Jerez, who served us in "flat" thoroughbred, and Fernando showed me some books where Trini, the sister of Gallo, has met all programs and reviews the runs where Rafael has fought.A girl of five or six years came smiling, had black eyes, large and lovely, took refuge between the legs of Gallo, who kissed .- How cute! Attracting the baby cried. Who is?"From my brother, Fernando," he said Rafael.And kissing the angelic creature who put their little hands in mine, like flowers, asked- What's your name?And the girl with her little voice told me children:- Trini! ...Fernando Gómez led me to a room to show me a picture of his father, the great bullfighter who all loved Spain, I saw in the rooms, modest, crowded furniture for fear of flood water, and returned to the patio, which illuminated a sweet overhead light.Gallito, very nice, with a charming affability, grabbed my arm and led me into a corner.- You are a man! "I said with conviction, and knows what these things are. I have great shame and great dignity, and I can not forget ... I can not forget!"Tell me, I asked Rafael. And if Pastora works ... What are you doing?Cock I looked surprised.- How to do I do? For nothing! That work all you want! I do not care! Look, for me, that woman is dead! As if there were! She and I are now strangers. If Spain had a divorce, divorced, and she would marry one who will make her happy and me ... Who knows ... Perhaps, too! I've done as if I had divorced and her ...
