If The 5th Of
November Had Been Worse For Heat Than It Was It Must Still Remain Dear
In Our Memory, Because In The Afternoon We Met Once More These Chilians
Of Our Hearts Whom We Had Met In San Sebastian And Burgos And
Valladolid And Madrid.
We knew we should meet them in Seville and were
not the least surprised.
They were as glad and gay as ever, and in our
common polyglot they possessed us of the fact that they had just
completed the eastern hemicycle of their Peninsular tour. They were
latest from Malaga, and now they were going northward. It was our last
meeting, but better friends I could not hope to meet again, whether in
the Old World or the New, or that Other World which we hope will somehow
be the summation of all that is best in both.

TO AND IN GRANADA
The train which leaves Seville at ten of a sunny morning is supposed to
arrive in Granada at seven of a moonlight evening. This is a mistake;
the moonlight is on time, but the train arrives at a quarter of nine.
Still, if the day has been sunny the whole way and the moonlight is
there at the end, no harm has really been done; and measurably the
promise of the train has been kept.
I
There was not a moment of the long journey over the levels of Andahisia
which was not charming; when it began to be over the uplands of the last
Moorish kingdom, it was richly impressive.
