If Maddalena comes I am going to be
asleep. You can entertain your enemy much quicker.
If a servant is your friend there is no getting rid
of her.
Belmonte is a bull-fighter. I
have not seen him. He is sick. He had bronchitis
and now he’s wounded. They put him in a
specially prepared place and they say the wound is
serious. He will recover. It is said that
the Queen hit the King. Not here. In Greece.
So be it.
This is going to be the story of Cook.
Oh yes that will be alright.
The story of Belmonte is that we know
he is hurt in the leg. A Mexican is to take his
place. The man at the Cafe Artistos after much
experience likes him better and says that though not
good looking has better technique.
The dog. He thought he wanted
it at once. The curtain. They wanted it
and liked to look with a telescope. First he came
that way then the same women had places. They
can read.
Cook does and he says and he is kind
to all. He has french as a friend and he speaks
Mallorcan. He understands all. He is so kind.
Continually fatten. They continually
fatten. She is so. She likes it. She
says she is dreadfully bitten.
This is the way they met. He
was abroad and he was used to English. Not to
speak but to be disappointed. He was never disappointed.
He spoke it. He called it. He spoke in a
low tone. He said I am sorry I have no faults
I am without fear but I have no money, I am not afraid
of that and I am not reckless. I am very careful.
I always pay back.
He does. He never said I said
so. I said Mrs. Hardy was right when she said
he had honest eyes. He is fond of swimming.
We saw it. She could not go because
it was hot. The one who was advertised was a
failure. The other one the one we had seen had
learnt how to do somethings very nearly and he did
it using all his old vigor and carrying it successfully.
A man of talent and plenty. He had blue eyes.
He was carried away. By whom. By many men.
They were really there. The other one is one
one is not sorry for. He is too old for yesterday
and we remember him. We remember him at the same
time two years ago and he was not the strongest man
or even the good one. I do not understand why
they speak to him.
Belmonte.
We have not seen him.
After all he doesn’t talk french
very fluently and so perhaps it would be better if
only you came to dinner. Of course you know best.
The moon.
The moon rises more to the left every night considerably
more.
I remember how I felt about it, we
began on top and slowly came down and this time we
were down but there was no liveliness in it. Even
if there had been anything delicate it would not have
been pleasurable. That’s how I felt about
it.
Don’t listen to her.
In places they go to see their husbands.
They wait until he is off the boat. Then they
rush.
It is a sweet story.
Don’t come up after ten.
If you want to come come alone that’s alright
but don’t come with Fanny after ten.
I love you Fanny Fanny is your name isn’t it.
This is they way they disturb him.
Belmonte Belmonte.
They are going to have an opportunity
at night. Not he. Horses. They are
going to do it in the way we have not seen. It
is not right to wear those clothes made by a dressmaker
who eats lunch. No.
All men are dark and women white.
We went out and saw six soldiers and a woman.
A little boy Bartholomew goes to school
in the hot weather August and June. Also July.
July and August. His father is proud. He
says he does not eat too much. He does not eat
enough. He learns English french spanish and
Arabic. Arabic is for the Arabs. He learns
it so that he can speak it. He is not a son of
a baker. He is the son of a hotel keeper.
A small hotel. Nobody sleeps there.
Capable of studying. He is capable
of studying. We were not sure that she was french.
We thought she spoke it. How do you know how to
say we do not care about lemonade.
We have not yet mentioned that on
the twenty-first there will be an opportunity to see
fighting when it is lighted by electric light.
We will certainly go by this means. They say
that the effect is not interesting.
This is not the history of Belmonte
because there are so many mounted men. We said
we did not admire them here but we have admired them.
We said this instructedly. Today we were pleased
to see our servant. He said that electricity
does not work on Sunday.
Cook works.
He said he asked every one about Guano
and they said he worked better than Belmonte.
If so they are both of the school of Gallito,
in the manner of Gallito who does continually
what he does a little. He is no doubt incorrect
in what he had heard. He often is. He does
not understand. Nevertheless there are horses
and electric light. We will see.
Today we walked. We walked up
and around the hill. One would speak of this
as not having taken a very long time. We were
full of discussion. We were frightened that evening.
No we weren’t. Certainly we said we were
plain. Dear things. What is it.
This is not like his painting. Talk about Mathilda.
Grief for Belmonte.
He did not hurt his foot. It was Cocherita of
Bilbao. who hurt his foot.
He hurt it so badly that he cannot walk.
Tonight it is very different.
Cocherita de Bilbao. He is not
an American. Torquito is. He reminds us
of it. He is very successful. He is intelligent
and he is strong and he has blue eyes in the distance.
I saw him very near.
Horses. Why are horses blind. They are in
one eye.
What does a lizard want to get.
He wants to get Polybe. Who will train him, who
will wash him. Who is beside him. Where is
he. We do not know.
Cook is such a believer in parent’s
age. He says it all the time he is certainly
or thirteen or fourteen plus seventeen. I mean
it. I think he is older. We never hear about
Belmonte.
When they gave a dinner the other
day Belmonte was not there.
Plan this. You meant to walk
up to the horse kneeling on one knee throw your weight
on the barrier and relieve the attack relieve it by
planting sharp stars into his shoulder relieve it
by stroking the horn, by hurrying. This was the
plan and he did it again. He continued to assure
the attack by not being quick. He was very quick.
This is the way to pursue it. Follow it about
and have the understanding with the uncertainty.
Nothing is uncertain to him. He is a wretch.
We can be angry. We were disappointed Belmonte
was not there and we had paid as if he were.
I remember long dashes. Mr. Kitchener
said that he was to go and he would meet him.
Mr. Potter he said if you will go later I will be there.
Mr. Potter did not go or he would not have met him.
Mr. Kitchener did not go neither did Mr. Potter.
Belmonte had his foot hurt. He is still in the
hospital.
They were here to eat their dinner.
They ate their dinner and they advised us to get sea-weed.
They said seaweed. He said seaweed contains iodine
which is very important for medicine. It is very
important in medicine. Belmonte uses it for his
foot. He uses it to put on his foot. Belmonte
uses it on his hurt foot. It is put on his foot
a great deal. They use it often. They use
it on his foot whenever he is hurt. He has been
hurt.
Belmonte was hurt. His foot was
not hurt. It was just above his foot and there
he was seriously hurt.
Necessarily the secret of Belmonte.
I do not wish to weep. I forget war and fear
and courage and dancing. I forget standing and
refusing. I believe choices. I choose Gallo.
He is a cock. He moves plainly.
