[46.3] =Ordenanzas.= Ordinances or police regulations that required (and still require) Spanish innkeepers to report to the authorities within twenty-four hours of the arrival of a guest, his name, the place from which he comes, his business, and other details. A satisfactory statement of the law is to be found in the _Novísima recopilación, Lib. III, Tit. XIX, Ley XXVII, 4_. The _Novísima recopilación_ is published in fairly convenient form in Alcubilla's _Códigos antiguos de España_ (page 1011). Of course the date assigned to the action of _Los intereses creados_ is anterior to 1805, the year of the formulation of the code just mentioned; but the legal requirement was approximately the same in the earlier time. [46.4] =¡Veníos!= The reflexive with intransitive verbs of motion is borrowed from a similar construction with transitive verbs (_e.g._ =moverse=, =arrojarse=, etc.) and does not appreciably change the meaning of the verb; it is probably to be regarded as a mere sign of spontaneity. See Bello-Cuervo, note 102. [47.1] =Aretino.= Pietro Aretino (1492-1566), the most notorious literary blackmailer of the Italian Renaissance; also an author of ability. He was born in Arezzo (whence Aretino), but is more closely associated with Venice. [48.1] =¡Pobres de ellos...!= "When adjectives are used as interjections before personal pronouns =de= is interposed." Ramsey, § 1431. Translate 'Woe to them...!' Cf. page 15, note 2. [48.2] =por melancólico.= Supply =ser= and translate 'because it is sad.' [48.3] =¿Sois vosotros?= In English the verb is in the third person singular: 'Is it you?' [49.1] =hagan merced.= An archaism corresponding to the modern =hagan (ustedes) el favor=. [49.2] =tengo dedicado.= =Tener= and =llevar= are sometimes used instead of =haber= with the past participle, after the manner of auxiliaries; but they are not true auxiliaries, because the participle is treated as an adjective and therefore agrees with the object in gender and number. =Tener= really denotes possession and is more emphatic than =haber=. [49.3] =he menester.= This expression, with =haber= as principal verb, is not unknown even in modern prose. In general, however, the use of =haber= as an independent verb is archaic. [50.1] =¡No miraré nada!= 'I shall not stop at anything!' Cf. page 22, note 2. [50.2] =ha= (=más de un mes=). In this sense =hace= is much more common than =ha= in modern Spanish. [50.3] =un.= Very commonly used for =una= before a feminine word beginning with stressed =a= or =ha=; for this apocopation see Bello-Cuervo, § 156. [51.1] =mírese.= Cf. page 22, note 2; the reflexive adds nothing that can be rendered into English; it is scarcely more than an ethical dative. [51.2] =¿Cómo conocidos?= 'How known?' 'What do you mean by known?' An elliptical expression, not impossible in colloquial English. [51.3] =Olvidados los tengo.= Note agreement of =olvidados= with =los= and see page 49, note 2.
