"I evidently have not made myself sufficiently clear to these simple peasants," said my friend to himself. "I must put more vigour into this show." Accordingly he rubbed and patted that part of himself to which I have previously alluded  and which, being a modest and properly brought up young man, nothing on earth shall induce me to mention more explicitly  with greater energy than ever, and added another inch or two of smile; and he also made various graceful movements indicative, as he thought, of friendly feeling and contentment. I EVIDENTLY HAVE NOT MADE MYSELF SUFFICIENTLY CLEAR TO THESE SIMPLE PEASANTS SAID MY FRIEND TO HIMSELF I MUST PUT MORE VIGOUR INTO THIS SHOW ACCORDINGLY HE RUBBED AND PATTED THAT PART OF HIMSELF TO WHICH I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ALLUDED AND WHICH BEING A MODEST AND PROPERLY BROUGHT UP YOUNG MAN NOTHING ON EARTH SHALL INDUCE ME TO MENTION MORE EXPLICITLY WITH GREATER ENERGY THAN EVER AND ADDED ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF SMILE AND HE ALSO MADE VARIOUS GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS INDICATIVE AS HE THOUGHT OF FRIENDLY FEELING AND CONTENTMENT
ted to thank them, and to convey to them some idea of how pleased and satisfied he was. He could not explain himself in language. He only knew enough Spanish to just ask for what he wanted--and even to do that he had to be careful not to want much. He had not got as far as sentiment and emotion at that time. Accordingly he started to express himself in action. He stood up and pointed to the empty table where the supper had been, then opened his mouth and pointed down his throat. Then he patted that region of his anatomy where, so scientific people tell us, supper goes to, and smiled. He has a rather curious smile, has my friend. He himself is under the impression that there is something very winning in it, though, also, as he admits, a touch of sadness. They use it in his family for keeping the children in order. The people of the inn seemed rather astonished at his behaviour. They regarded him, with troubled looks, and then gathered together among themselves and consulted in whispers. TER SUPPER HE FELT HE WANTED TO THANK THEM AND TO CONVEY TO THEM SOME IDEA OF HOW PLEASED AND SATISFIED HE WAS HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN HIMSELF IN LANGUAGE HE ONLY KNEW ENOUGH SPANISH TO JUST ASK FOR WHAT HE WANTED AND EVEN TO DO THAT HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO WANT MUCH HE HAD NOT GOT AS FAR AS SENTIMENT AND EMOTION AT THAT TIME ACCORDINGLY HE STARTED TO EXPRESS HIMSELF IN ACTION HE STOOD UP AND POINTED TO THE EMPTY TABLE WHERE THE SUPPER HAD BEEN THEN OPENED HIS MOUTH AND POINTED DOWN HIS THROAT THEN HE PATTED THAT REGION OF HIS ANATOMY WHERE SO SCIENTIFIC PEOPLE TELL US SUPPER GOES TO AND SMILED HE HAS A RATHER CURIOUS SMILE HAS MY FRIEND HE HIMSELF IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WINNING IN IT THOUGH ALSO AS HE ADMITS A TOUCH OF SADNESS THEY USE IT IN HIS FAMILY FOR KEEPING THE CHILDREN IN ORDER THE PEOPLE OF THE INN SEEMED RATHER ASTONISHED AT HIS BEHAVIOUR THEY REGARDED HIM WITH TROUBLED LOOKS AND THEN GATHERED TOGETHER AMONG THEMSELVES AND CONSULTED IN WHISPERS
