{131} “The city prison.” _La Corte_ is the _capital_, as well as the _court_. {133} “My master! the constables, and the catchpolls, and all the other thieves . . . ” {134a} See the Glossary, _s.v._ JARGON. {134b} “He is very skilful.” {136} “Are there no more?” {141} More like the French _Juge d’Instruction_. {143a} “Come along, Sir George; to your house, to your lodgings!” {143b} Acts xvi. 37. {146} People of renown. {147a} “Mashes” and mistresses. _Majo_ is a word of more general signification than _manolo_. The one is a dandy, or smart fellow, all over Spain; the other is used only of a certain class in Madrid. {147b} More correctly, _Carabanchel_ or _Carabancheles_, two villages a few miles south of Madrid. {148} This in prison! {149} _E.g._ in the citadel of Pampeluna. See _Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society_, i. 152. {152} Perhaps Waterloo.—[Note by Borrow.] {154} “It distresses me.” {155} Robbing the natives. {156} See chap. xiii. {164} The sun was setting, and Demos commands. “Bring water, my children, that ye may eat bread this evening.” Borrow has translated this song in the _Targum _(_v._ p. 343). {165} The treasure-digger. {170} See _The Zincali_, part ii. chap. iv. {171} The duke became prime minister in August, 1838. {175} In Gams’ _Series Episcoporum_, the standard authority on the subject, the archiepiscopal see of Toledo is noted as _vacant_ from 1836 to 1847. Nor is any hint given of how the duties of the office were performed. Don Antonio Perez Hirias figures only as Bishop of Mallorca, or Majorca, from December, 1825, to December, 1847. {178a} Kicks from behind. {178b} “I do not know.” {179a} See note, p. 103. {179b} “To the gallows! To the gallows!” {180a} “To the country! To the country!” {180b} “Ride on, because of the word of truth, of meekness, and righteousness” (Ps. xlv. 5, P.B.V.). {188} A nickname, unhappily too commonly justified in Southern Spain, where ophthalmia and oculists are equally dangerous. It is remarkable how many of the great men in Spanish history, however, have been distinguished by this blemish: Hannibal, Viriatus, Táric, Abdur Rahman I., and Don Juan el Tuerto in the reign of Alfonso XI.
