Prince Of t ne Pampas

ed with ornamentsd belts and boots
by Brooks.
And then In the early darkness
the asada feast itself!
Terry, at a table with the family
and magazine men on the balcony
overlooking the crowd In the court
yard below, felt like beating her
silverware against her plate as she
watched the contagious convivial-
ity Of the poems at the barbecue.
The red Goals cleaned In the pits
silhouetting the arms and knives
that attacked the roasted animals.
Mems loud laughter rose, and the
lighter chatter OF the women As
the stars came out and the night
took on its luminous, turquoise
depths, the scene was like the ex-
otto setting Of an opera.
Angela's father sang, wearing
the black pantaloons, chiripas, OF
the proverbial gaucho, and a pom
cho Of vicuna hair, gaucho boots,
and the jaunty soft black felt
chambergo turned up In front like
the hat Of a musketeer. His silver
spurs twinkled in the light Of the
barbecue pit as he strummed his
guitar accompaniment
His voice was rich and melan-
choly. The song was a dirge Of I'M
requited love. It's rhythm went on
verse after verse. dLstilling slow. in
exorable nostalgia.
The baroness sighed with con-
tented rapture. She leaned across
the table to the writer from La
Espejo. This Is the Mac Coy" shs
nodded brightly.
The writer blinked dazedly at her
grin for a moment, then laughed.
"Ah! Americana" he recognized.
Ran grinned over at Terry. Roxis
certainly made use Of the vocabu-
larry Terry was teaching her!
Terry smiled back, but vaguely.
She was torturing herself because
she had not the strength to keep
from 1t. The song-that relentless.
throbbing gaucho song had her
powerless. She could see nothing
but Brooks and Corlnne, side by
side, watching the brilliant scene
below them with the quiet smiles
Of the patron and patroness.
Dimly she watched the dancing
begin on the dimly lit wooden plat
form, to the music Of guitars and
accordians--the slow and stately
waltzes and polkas, the fast, furi-
Gus "jota" and "gato," the tangoes,
finally the malambo, the old gaucho
dance with the heavy sounds OF
drumming spurs on the floor.
And suddenly she could stand II
no longer. At the height Of tbs
dance, she slipped through the door
and made her way down through
the house and out the side door
farthest from the festival In the
courtyard.
