<h2><SPAN name="THE_HISTORY_OF_BELMONTE">I MUST TRY TO WRITE THE HISTORY OF BELMONTE</SPAN></h2>
<p>If Maddalena comes I am going to be asleep. You
can entertain your enemy much quicker. If a servant
is your friend there is no getting rid of her.</p>
<p>Belmonte is a bull-fighter. I have not seen him.
He is sick. He had bronchitis and now he's wounded.
They put him in a specially prepared place and they say
the wound is serious. He will recover. It is said that
the Queen hit the King. Not here. In Greece. So be it.</p>
<p>This is going to be the story of Cook. Oh yes that
will be alright.</p>
<p>The story of Belmonte is that we know he is hurt in
the leg. A Mexican is to take his place. The man at
the Cafe Artistos after much experience likes him better
and says that though not good looking has better
technique.</p>
<p>The dog. He thought he wanted it at once. The
curtain. They wanted it and liked to look with a telescope.
First he came that way then the same women had
places. They can read.</p>
<p>Cook does and he says and he is kind to all. He has
french as a friend and he speaks Mallorcan. He understands
all. He is so kind.</p>
<p>Continually fatten. They continually fatten. She
is so. She likes it. She says she is dreadfully bitten.</p>
<p>This is the way they met. He was abroad and he
was used to English. Not to speak but to be disappointed.
He was never disappointed. He spoke it. He called it.
He spoke in a low tone. He said I am sorry I have no
faults I am without fear but I have no money, I am not
afraid of that and I am not reckless. I am very careful.
I always pay back.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_71" title="71"> </SPAN>
He does. He never said I said so. I said Mrs.
Hardy was right when she said he had honest eyes. He
is fond of swimming.</p>
<p>We saw it. She could not go because it was hot.
The one who was advertised was a failure. The other
one the one we had seen had learnt how to do somethings
very nearly and he did it using all his old vigor and carrying
it successfully. A man of talent and plenty. He
had blue eyes. He was carried away. By whom. By
many men. They were really there. The other one is
one one is not sorry for. He is too old for yesterday
and we remember him. We remember him at the same
time two years ago and he was not the strongest man or
even the good one. I do not understand why they speak
to him.</p>
<p>Belmonte.</p>
<p>We have not seen him.</p>
<p>After all he doesn't talk french very fluently and so
perhaps it would be better if only you came to dinner.
Of course you know best.</p>
<p>The moon.</p>
<p>The moon rises more to the left every night considerably
more.</p>
<p>I remember how I felt about it, we began on top
and slowly came down and this time we were down but
there was no liveliness in it. Even if there had been
anything delicate it would not have been pleasurable.
That's how I felt about it.</p>
<p>Don't listen to her.</p>
<p>In places they go to see their husbands. They wait
until he is off the boat. Then they rush.</p>
<p>It is a sweet story.</p>
<p>Don't come up after ten. If you want to come come
alone that's alright but don't come with Fanny after ten.</p>
<p>I love you Fanny Fanny is your name isn't it.</p>
<p>This is <ins title="the">they</ins> way they disturb him.</p>
<p>Belmonte Belmonte.</p>
<p><SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_72" title="72"> </SPAN>
They are going to have an opportunity at night.
Not he. Horses. They are going to do it in the way we
have not seen. It is not right to wear those clothes made
by a dressmaker who eats lunch. No.</p>
<p>All men are dark and women white.</p>
<p>We went out and saw six soldiers and a woman.</p>
<p>A little boy Bartholomew goes to school in the hot
weather August and June. Also July. July and August.
His father is proud. He says he does not eat too much.
He does not eat enough. He learns English french
spanish and Arabic. Arabic is for the Arabs. He learns
it so that he can speak it. He is not a son of a
baker. He is the son of a hotel keeper. A small hotel.
Nobody sleeps there.</p>
<p>Capable of studying. He is capable of studying.
We were not sure that she was french. We thought
she spoke it. How do you know how to say we do not
care about lemonade.</p>
<p>We have not yet mentioned that on the twenty-first
there will be an opportunity to see fighting when it is
lighted by electric light. We will certainly go by this
means. They say that the effect is not interesting.</p>
<p>This is not the history of Belmonte because there
are so many mounted men. We said we did not admire
them here but we have admired them. We said this instructedly.
Today we were pleased to see our servant.
He said that electricity does not work on Sunday.</p>
<p>Cook works.</p>
<p>He said he asked every one about Guano and they
said he worked better than Belmonte. If so they are
both of the school of Gallito, in the manner of Gallito
who does continually what he does a little. He is no
doubt incorrect in what he had heard. He often is.
He does not understand. Nevertheless there are horses
and electric light. We will see.</p>
<p>Today we walked. We walked up and around the
hill. One would speak of this as not having taken a very
<SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_73" title="73"> </SPAN>long time. We were full of discussion. We were
frightened that evening. No we weren't. Certainly we
said we were plain. Dear things. What is it.</p>
<p>This is not like his painting. Talk about Mathilda.</p>
<p>Grief for Belmonte.</p>
<p>He did not hurt his foot. It was Cocherita of <ins title="Bilbao,">Bilbao.</ins>
who hurt his foot. He hurt it so badly that he cannot
walk.</p>
<p>Tonight it is very different.</p>
<p>Cocherita de Bilbao. He is not an American. Torquito
is. He reminds us of it. He is very successful.
He is intelligent and he is strong and he has blue eyes
in the distance. I saw him very near.</p>
<p>Horses. Why are horses blind. They are in one eye.</p>
<p>What does a lizard want to get. He wants to get
Polybe. Who will train him, who will wash him. Who
is beside him. Where is he. We do not know.</p>
<p>Cook is such a believer in parent's age. He says it
all the time he is certainly or thirteen or fourteen plus
seventeen. I mean it. I think he is older. We never
hear about Belmonte.</p>
<p>When they gave a dinner the other day Belmonte
was not there.</p>
<p>Plan this. You meant to walk up to the horse kneeling
on one knee throw your weight on the barrier and
relieve the attack relieve it by planting sharp stars into
his shoulder relieve it by stroking the horn, by hurrying.
This was the plan and he did it again. He continued
to assure the attack by not being quick. He was very
quick. This is the way to pursue it. Follow it about
and have the understanding with the uncertainty.
Nothing is uncertain to him. He is a wretch. We can
be angry. We were disappointed Belmonte was not there
and we had paid as if he were.</p>
<p>I remember long dashes. Mr. Kitchener said that
he was to go and he would meet him. Mr. Potter he
said if you will go later I will be there. Mr. Potter did
<SPAN class="pagenum" name="Page_74" title="74"> </SPAN>not go or he would not have met him. Mr. Kitchener
did not go neither did Mr. Potter. Belmonte had his
foot hurt. He is still in the hospital.</p>
<p>They were here to eat their dinner. They ate their
dinner and they advised us to get <ins title="seaweed">sea-weed</ins>. They said
seaweed. He said seaweed contains iodine which is very
important for medicine. It is very important in medicine.
Belmonte uses it for his foot. He uses it to put on his
foot. Belmonte uses it on his hurt foot. It is put on his
foot a great deal. They use it often. They use it on his
foot whenever he is hurt. He has been hurt.</p>
<p>Belmonte was hurt. His foot was not hurt. It was
just above his foot and there he was seriously hurt.</p>
<p>Necessarily the secret of Belmonte. I do not wish
to weep. I forget war and fear and courage and dancing.
I forget standing and refusing. I believe choices. I
choose Gallo. He is a cock. He moves plainly.</p>
