FOOTNOTES:
[1] The dancing boys still officiate at Seville, also, in Holy-week, where they leap merrily before the high altar, and do not even take off their hats to the Host. The story runs that, years ago, a visiting bishop from Rome found fault with this as being unorthodox, and threatened to put a stop to it. He complained to the Pope, and a lenient order issued from the Vatican that the observance should be discontinued when the boys' clothes should be worn out. Up to the present day, curiously enough, the clothes have not been worn out.
[2] These last are called tocas, and are rapidly superseding the long mantilla.
[3] This characterization, our own experience led us to conclude, was exceedingly unjust.
[4] Some time before this he had, by too adventurous play, received a tossing which laid him up for eight months, and his death in the ring has since been reported.
[5] In this connection it is curious to observe that the Toledan peasants, like the Chinese, confound the letters r and l—as when they say flol for flor, "flower."
[6] Contained in the series called "The Man with Five Wives."
