. Tell me, really, do you like it?

. Do I?

. I made it myself; I did all the embroidery.

. Heavens! Don't speak of such a thing! I want you to live and to kill many bulls.

. [To ] Bulls of papa's.

. Naturally, people here are a little suspicious after that affair two years ago. You have very few admirers. But I get in a good word whenever I have an opportunity.

. So long as you are there, I don't care if they turn the whole herd loose in the plaza.

. Aren't you coming to the Palace this evening to see the fireworks?

. I hope so. Be careful! I don't want to displease mamma.
