Antonio Rodriguez gave him a tremendous thrust with his lance, and inflicted a second wound just beside the first, for it is only allowable to hit the bull in the shoulder. But he again rushed towards Rodriguez with his head near the ground, and plunged his horn right into the horse's belly. The _chulos_ ran up, waving their pieces of cloth, and the stupid animal, attracted and diverted by this fresh object, turned round and pursued them at full speed; but the _chulos_, placing one foot on the ledge we have already described, leaped lightly over the barrier, leaving him very much astonished at no longer seeing any one. The horn had completely ripped up the horse's belly, so that his entrails came through, and almost touched the ground. I thought that the _picador_ would retire and procure another steed; this was, however, far from being the case; he touched his ear, to see whether or not the wound was mortal. The horse was only unseamed; although his wound was most horrible to behold, it could be healed. The entrails are replaced in his belly, a needle and thread are passed through the skin, and the poor creature is still capable of being used again. Rodriguez gave him the spur, and cantered up to take another position at a little distance off. It now seemed to strike the bull that all he should get from the _picadores_ were hard thrusts, and he began to feel a desire to return to his pasture. Instead of _entering_ again without hesitation, after making a few bounds, he returned, with the most dogged resolution, to his _querencia_; the _querencia_ is the technical term for some corner or other that the bull chooses for a resting-place, and to which he always retires after having made the _cogida_. This word is employed to designate the attack of the bull, while _la suerte_ is used in speaking of the _torrero_, who is likewise named _diestro_.
