"What good news, eh?"
"Good, Señor Bartolo, very good."
"And what is it all about, Master Iñigo?"
"About the Campeador, as you may well suppose."
"By San Pedro of Cardeña, the Cid is a splendid cavalier! But tell me, tell me, Master Iñigo, the latest news of him."
"I will, Señor Bartolo. You know already what a good beating he gave the French, don't you?"
"Yes, yes; you told me all about that already. Anger of God! how I should like to have been on the top of the Pyrenees to see from there how the Cid and his army treated those French dogs."
"You know also that the Cid was at Rome, with other good cavaliers?"
"Certainly; you told me that too."
"But that which you don't know is what happened there to the Cid."
