Explore "The Gold-Seekers" by Gustave Aimard on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
During the conversation between the foster brothers, certain events we must describe to the reader occurred in the cuarto to which Curumilla and Don Cornelio had retired.
On entering the room, Curumilla, instead of lying down on the cuadro intended for him, laid his zarape on the tiled flooring, stretched himself out upon it, and immediately closed his eyes. Don Cornelio, on the contrary, after hanging the lamp to a nail in the wall, trimmed up the smoking wick with the point of his knife, sat down on the side of the bed, with his legs hanging down, and then began in a sonorous voice the romance of King Rodrigo.
