You may tell the big senor that the land is mine, but that I do not desire to use harsh methods, nor have ill-feeling between us.

It is my wish to live in harmony with all men; my choice of a majordomo should bear witness that I look upon Americanos with a friendly eye.

I think the big hombre is honest and intelligent; his face rather pleases me.

So you may tell him that Jose shall not trouble him again, and that I shall not dispute with him about his remaining here, if to remain should be his purpose when he knows the land belongs to me.

But I shall look upon him as a guest.
