I met Luis Colmenares in Venice, not having seen him for years. He is a Mexican exile living on the scanty1 remains2 of what was once wealth, and eking3 out a poor and lonely existence by being a painter. But his art is only a sedative4 to him. He wanders about like a lost soul, mostly in Paris or in Italy, where he can live cheaply. He is rather short, rather fat, pale, with black eyes, which are always looking the other way, and a spirit the same, always averted5.

“Do you know who is in Venice?” he said to me. “Cuesta! He is in the H?tel Romano. I saw him bathing yesterday on the Lido.”

There was a world of gloomy mockery in this last sentence.

“Do you mean Cuesta, the bull-fighter?” I asked.

“Yes. Don’t you know, he retired6? Do you remember? An American woman left him a lot of money. Did you ever see him?”

“Once,” said I.

“Was it before the revolution? Do you remember, he retired and bought a hacienda very cheap from one of Madero’s generals, up in Chihuahua? It was after the Carranzista, and I was already in Europe.”

“How does he look now?” I said.

“Enormously fat, like a yellow, round, small whale in the sea. You saw him? You know he was rather short and rather fat always. I think his mother was a Mixtec Indian woman. Did you ever know him?”

“No,” said I. “Did you?”

“Yes. I knew him in the old days, when I was rich, and thought I should be rich for ever.”

He was silent, and I was afraid he had shut up for good. It was unusual for him to be even as communicative as he had been. But it was evident that having seen Cuesta, the toreador whose fame once rang through Spain and through Latin America, had moved him deeply. He was in a ferment8, and could not quite contain himself.
