[1] "Es tan linda su boca que no pide." [2] A Spanish silver coin, equal in value to the U. S. dollar. [3] A silver coin containing two reales. [4] The copper piece is a cuarto. A real contains 34 maravedis and is worth about the same as the U. S. dime. The smallest Spanish coin is the maravedi. Four maravedis make a cuarto. [5] Trunkmaker's street. [6] In some provinces the rector of a parish. [7] The point of this passage in the original is the misuse of Spanish words and the introduction of others which are not Spanish. Thus Hidalgo means a nobleman; and Kermesas, Fr., Kermesse, Dutch, Kermis, is a name for a fair peculiar to Holland and Belgium.
