"Get along!" said the other, absently, as he opened his hand of cards and examined it attentively.
Then they went on playing with much interest, absorbed and silent. But the majordomo interrupted them again by saying:
"And at julepe."
"All right, Manin, be quiet and don't be a fool," said Don Pedro, crossly.
"Fool, fool," muttered the peasant, surlily; "there are a good many fools about, but as they have money there is no one to call them so."
He then re-settled his broad shoulders in the seat, stretched out his legs, closed his eyes, and began to snore.
The players turned their eyes on Don Pedro in surprise, and some anxiety.
