Description
Excerpt: About this very sheep?shearing there had been, between her and the head shepherd, Juan Canito, called Juan Can for short, and to distinguish him from Juan Jose, the upper herdsman of the cattle, some discussions which would have been hot and angry ones in any other hands than the Senora?s. Juan Canito wanted the shearing to begin, even though Senor Felipe were ill in bed, and though that lazy shepherd Luigo had not yet got back with the flock that had been driven up the coast for pasture. ?There were plenty of sheep on the place to begin with,? he said one morning, ?at least a thousand;? and by the time they were done, Luigo would surely be back with the rest; and as for Senor Felipe?s being in bed, had not he, Juan Canito, stood at the packing?bag, and handled the wool, when Senor Felipe was a boy? Why could he not do it again? The Senora did not realize how time was going; there would be no shearers to be hired presently, since the Senora was determined to have none but Indians. Of course, if she would employ Mexicans, as all the other ranches in the valley did, it would be different; but she was resolved upon having Indians, ?God knows why,? he interpolated surlily, under his breath.
