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.
