(Pirate.) What is a pirate not a man who kills and pursues boats but the
one who has a family, he is the one who comes home today, he expects to
be hated. We don't have that feeling.
A scene.
They all laugh.
Please rent a garden for chickens and a turkey.
I wonder if I like dancing.
I can mention a subject which is agreeable so agreeable and exciting and
there are three names two of them are almost alike.
We are there.
The Scene
Conversation. I asked him did he like to hear the dog bark. He said he
would shoot at him. I said did he like to hear it. We were ashamed of
his servants. They talked together loudly. We hoped he would control
them. He wrote it. So did they together. Please have peace. Say the
date. Please have the Fangturm. Please have peace. Please don't fish so
near the shore. Please do not be asked to buy it when it is living. It
is not disgusting. All of us are not so pleased.
(Nicholas and Jane.)
They are old. They have taken the house for the month of September and
we do hope that they will go away. We do hope that they will go away.
The proprietor came and took the almonds. We said do not take the
grapes, we will not give you the key.
Have we gotten as far as that.
Mallorcan singing.
They are all singing they sing the song about the chicken. Jenny Chicken
does not sing a song about the chicken. She says she does not like them
small.
I am so bothered.
I am angry.
I am angry at these sounds. They say.
This is Spain and I say. It is not.
(Nicholas.) I have a governess. She tells me to pray. I am not
religious.
Servants can speak to each other. Two of them have long hair. They all
wear it down their back.
Come in. We are not coming tonight. We hope to see the fire-works. There
will also be a procession. Do you believe you will see the procession.
We will see the fire-works from here.
(Paul.) Thunder. It will not rain yet. It usually does not at this
season. I hope that a war will come. I would like to be interpreter.
(Antonio.) I believe in merrymaking. It has been possible for me to
catch fish. I avoided cooking the lunch by leaving two young boys in
charge. Their names were Clarence and Emanuel.
(Clarence.) I will see to everything.
(Emanuel.) I will help you.
(Pablo.) I will be of some assistance.
(Antonio.) I will come when called.
(Maggie.) I do not like hot weather.
The part of the house which has windows back and front is cooler.
Coming together.
We move.
I will tell you about Eugenia. She moved the table and hopes to be
married. I do not think so because I do not think she is attractive.
There is not a family in which some do not embroider. It is a great
industry.
The wind.
There is wind every day.
I am so disappointed.
It is difficult to stop now because of annoyances. Now we will tell of
the things that were sent together.
We were surprised they had not moved in. Open homes.
Go on. Go on.
Making people better.
