The Gringos

CHAPTER XVII
10/21

There will be sports such as you Americanos know nothing of, Senor.

And there openly, before all the people, you shall contest with Jose for a prize which I shall give, and for the medalla oro if you will; for you shall have the privilege of challenging Jose, the champion, to contest for the medalla.

And there will be a prize--and I doubt not--" He was thinking that there would probably be two prizes, though only one which he could proclaim publicly.
"Myself, I shall write to Jose and beg him to consider the honor of his father's name and of the name of his father's friend, and consent that the duelo shall take place under the guise of sport.

It must not be to the death, Senor.

Myself, I shall insist that it shall not be to the death.
