"It's goat's milk, but fine just the same. Come on now:<br />

taste it."<br />

Demetrio smiled gratefully, straightened up, grasped<br />

the clay pitcher, and proceeded to drink the milk in little<br />

gulps, without removing his eyes from the girl.<br />

She grew self-conscious, lowered her eyes.<br />

"What's your name" he asked.<br />

"Camilla "<br />

"Ah, there's a lovely name! And the girl that bears it,<br />

lovelier still!"<br />

Camilla blushed. As he sought to seize her wrist, she<br />

grew frightened, and Picking up the empty pitcher, flew<br />

out the door.<br />

"No, Demetrio," Anastasio Montanez commented<br />

gravely, "you've got to break them in first. Hmm! It's a<br />

hell of a lot of scars the women have left on my body.<br />

Yes, my friend, I've a heap of experience along that line."<br />

"I feet all right now, Compadre." Demetrio pretended<br />

he had not heard him. "I had fever, and I sweated like a<br />

horse all night, but I feel quite fresh today. The thing<br />

that's irking me hellishly is that Goddamn wound. Can<br />

Venancio to look after me."<br />

"What are we going to do with the tenderfoot we<br />

caught last night" Pancracio asked.<br />

"That's right: I was forgetting all about him."<br />

As usual, Demetrio hesitated a while before he reached<br />

a decision.<br />

"Here, Quail, come here. Listen: you go and find out<br />

where's the nearest church around here. I know there's<br />

one about six miles away. Go and steal a priest's robe<br />

and bring it back."<br />

"What's the idea" asked Pancracio in surprise.
