     summary: The attempt to regenerate the national army by the infusion of a body of _educated_ officers, whose advancement should depend entirely upon their own conduct and acquirements, was a praiseworthy effort to break through the barriers of presumption, ignorance, and vice, with which the pampered nobles of Spain had, until then, closed the door of promotion against every kind of merit; reserving for themselves all the most influential and lucrative posts, and placing in the inferior, the illegitimate branches of their houses, their numerous hangers-on and menials, and, even yet worse, the debased panders to their vices. And, if they were not destined to the _same_ country, the two places to which they were proceeding would certainly have been distinguished by different names.

     summary: The quality of the wine depends, therefore, upon the quantity and age of the various _madre_ butts from which it has been flavoured; and the taste is varied from dry to sweet, and the colour from pale to brown, by the greater or less admixture of _Pajarete_, _Amontillado_, and _boiled_ sherry. But in summer, carriages even may proceed to Seville by a cross road, which not only lessens the dust, but reduces the distance from six _long_ to the same number of _short_ leagues; or, in other words, effects a saving of about three miles.

     summary: But the Spanish chroniclers have been lacking in the Englishman's regard for circumstantial detail; so whether it was an untamed Cantabrian or a Roman Centurion who was annexed as _hero eponymus_ for the basilica of Iria Flavia it is now impossible to guess. To them all petty annoyances and inconveniences assume disproportionate dimensions, and they are well advised in checking their _razzias_ at San Sebástien, Pau, or Biarritz.

     summary: Of course a soldier is always interested in a fortress, for it is in the line of his profession; and the greatest fortification in the world could but be regarded with a curious eye by old soldiers like those who had led our armies for four years; who had conducted great campaigns, with long marches and battles and sieges--battles among the bloodiest of modern times, and one siege (that of Richmond) which lasted as long as the famous siege of Gibraltar. Such are the heroic memories which gather round Gibraltar, and overshadow it as its mighty crags cast their shadows on the sea.

     summary: As if by common consent, all fingers pointed at young King Philip as the instigator of the crime.[11] It was asserted that the man who struck the blow was one Alonso Mateo, a crossbowman of the King; but though hundreds affirmed it, neither he nor any other was ever prosecuted for the crime, and the immortal Lope de Vega, who firmly believed that the young Sovereign connived at the murder of the Duke of Lemos, the former minister of his father, in November 1622, only interpreted the general belief in the capital, if it was indeed he who wrote that whoever struck the fatal blow at Villa Mediana, _the impulse that guided it was sovereign_. Following these and a hundred other ostentatious groups, the mention of which would fill pages, King Philip left his palace as the great clock in the courtyard--one of the marvels of Madrid--struck the hour of one, and reached a side door of the monastery in his coach by a circuitous route.
