thick as butter and is served in small
cups. With hot chocolate the Span
lard begins the day at "desayuno," his
little breakfast equivalent to the
petit de jeuner'' of the F'renchman
or the "chota hazri" of the Anglo
Indian. Chocolate is also his drink in
the afternoon at the time when the
English take tea, and when he goes to
a cafe in the evening for conversation
with a friend he orders chocolate as
a matter Of course. If he is with an
American friend he orders chocolate
for two without even asking whether
the foreigner would prefer an alcohol
ic beverage. This is not because of
any failure of Spanish courtesy, but
because it does not occur to a Span
lard that anyone would wish to poison
himself with a ''highball' or cocktail
before turning in.
