Since San Fernando drove out the royal house of the Beni-Abbad, and Motamid, the poet king, took refuge in Mequinez, as Abd-el- Wahed chronicles in his veracious history of the times, much has occurred. In the Alcazar, Pedro el Justiciero had loved Maria Padilla ; in it he had made the fishpond where the degenerate Charles the Second sat fishing whilst his empire slipped out of his hands. The Caloro from Hind, Multan, or from whatever Trans-Caucasian or Cis-Himalayan province they set out from,... ages ago, had come, and spreading over Spain, fixed themselves firmly in the part of Seville called the Triana, after the Emperor Trajan, who was born there as some say, and where to-day they chatter Romany, deal in horses, tell fortunes, and behave as if the entire world was a great oyster to be opened by their wheedling tongues. So on the evening of which I speak, a Sunday in the month of May, the bull-fight was just over, leaving behind it that mixed air of sensuousness and blood which seems to hover over Seville after each show of bulls, as it may once have hovered over Italica, the Roman city outside Seville, after a show of gladiators.
