A Tramps Scraps PDF Download

Excerpt from A Tramp's Scraps A, an Argentino, comes in to a pulperia and talks loudly to another native. B objects, laying his hand on A's arm, and asks him to make less noise. A steps back, putting his hand on his knife, and B throws him out of doors and shuts the door. Later A returns and he and B sit down to talk it over. A says that he is an Estanciero, with thirty thousand head of live stock and would have treated B well if he had come to his place; why had B thrown him out? B said: "Too much noise and knife." B had put on an ulster and had a Derringer in his hand in his pocket; a man had told him that A was coming back to kill him. For two hours or so they sat, A talking a little and then jumping up in front of B, his knife wandering up and down B who sat perfectly still watching as if it was a show. Then A would sit again and jump up again and so on. They use a knife here as an Englishman would his hand and are so quick that the pistol would never have saved B, though he might have killed A, killing is not much thought of and this man was wild to do it. Why did he not? Was it providence? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
