Very
soon
Dicky
took
her
to
the
little
church
on
the
corner
of
the
plaza
,
and
"
Mrs.
Maloney
"
was
added
to
her
string
of
distinguished
names
.
And
it
was
her
fate
to
sit
,
with
her
patient
,
saintly
eyes
and
figure
like
a
bisque
Psyche
,
behind
the
sequestered
counter
of
the
little
shop
,
while
Dicky
drank
and
philandered
with
his
frivolous
acquaintances
.
The
women
,
with
their
naturally
fine
instinct
,
saw
a
chance
for
vivisection
,
and
delicately
taunted
her
with
his
habits
.
She
turned
upon
them
in
a
beautiful
,
steady
blaze
of
sorrowful
contempt
.
"
You
meat-cows
,
"
she
said
,
in
her
level
,
crystal-clear
tones
;
"
you
know
nothing
of
a
man
.
Your
men
are
maromeros
.
They
are
fit
only
to
roll
cigarettes
in
the
shade
until
the
sun
strikes
and
shrivels
them
up
.
They
drone
in
your
hammocks
and
you
comb
their
hair
and
feed
them
with
fresh
fruit
.
My
man
is
of
no
such
blood
.
Let
him
drink
of
the
wine
.
When
he
has
taken
sufficient
of
it
to
drown
one
of
your
flaccitos
he
will
come
home
to
me
more
of
a
man
than
one
thousand
of
your
pobrecitos
.
My
hair
he
smooths
and
braids
;
to
me
he
sings
;
he
himself
removes
my
zapatos
,
and
there
,
there
,
upon
each
instep
leaves
a
kiss
.
He
holds
--
Oh
,
you
will
never
understand
!
Blind
ones
who
have
never
known
a
man
.
"
Sometimes
mysterious
things
happened
at
night
about
Dicky
's
shop
.
While
the
front
of
it
was
dark
,
in
the
little
room
back
of
it
Dicky
and
a
few
of
his
friends
would
sit
about
a
table
carrying
on
some
kind
of
very
quiet
negocios
until
quite
late
.
Finally
he
would
let
them
out
the
front
door
very
carefully
,
and
go
upstairs
to
his
little
saint
.
These
visitors
were
generally
conspirator-like
men
with
dark
clothes
and
hats
.
Of
course
,
these
dark
doings
were
noticed
after
a
while
,
and
talked
about
.
Dicky
seemed
to
care
nothing
at
all
for
the
society
of
the
alien
residents
of
the
town
.
He
avoided
Goodwin
,
and
his
skilful
escape
from
the
trepanning
story
of
Dr.
Gregg
is
still
referred
to
,
in
Coralio
,
as
a
masterpiece
of
lightning
diplomacy
.
Many
letters
arrived
,
addressed
to
"
Mr.
Dicky
Maloney
,
"
or
"
Señor
Dickee
Maloney
,
"
to
the
considerable
pride
of
Pasa
.
That
so
many
people
should
desire
to
write
to
him
only
confirmed
her
own
suspicion
that
the
light
from
his
red
head
shone
around
the
world
.
As
to
their
contents
she
never
felt
curiosity
.
There
was
a
wife
for
you
!
The
one
mistake
Dicky
made
in
Coralio
was
to
run
out
of
money
at
the
wrong
time
.
Where
his
money
came
from
was
a
puzzle
,
for
the
sales
of
his
shop
were
next
to
nothing
,
but
that
source
failed
,
and
at
a
peculiarly
unfortunate
time
.
It
was
when
the
comandante
,
Don
Señor
el
Coronel
Encarnacion
Rios
,
looked
upon
the
little
saint
seated
in
the
shop
and
felt
his
heart
go
pitapat
.
The
comandante
,
who
was
versed
in
all
the
intricate
arts
of
gallantry
,
first
delicately
hinted
at
his
sentiments
by
donning
his
dress
uniform
and
strutting
up
and
down
fiercely
before
her
window
.
