Carmen

When Spanish soldiers are on duty, they either play cards or go to sleep. His voice, though rough, was pleasing, the air he sang was strange and sad. Then Carmen put out the lamp and told Dorotea, in her own language, to take to flight. Borrow, the author of two very interesting works on the Spanish gipsies, whom he undertook to convert on behalf of the Bible Society, declares there is no instance of any gitana showing the smallest weakness for a man not belonging to her own race.
