=24= 33 =Enriqueta, Julia=: conventional names of heroines of novels.
Not Spanish in tone. By comparing a list of eminent men in Spain with a
similar list in the United States it will be seen that saints of the
Church furnish about two thirds of the Christian names in Spain, about
one third here; for women's names the contrast is still greater. Many
Spanish women's names that do not look like saints' names are attributes
of the Virgin; e.g. Rosario for Our Lady of the Rosary.

=25= 18 =Estaras=: R. 1195; K. 703, _c_; C. 266.

=27= 25 =Abur=: 'good-bye' (colloq. for =agur=, from Lat. _augurium_,
through a Low Latin form _agurium_; K. 60, footnote). Not discourteous,
but more offhand in tone than the =adios= of p. 28, l. 5.

=27= 32 =lo tuyo=: 'what is yours,' 'your business.'

=27= 34 =Hombre=: cf. n. on p. 5, l. 33.

=28= 2 =Del lobo=, etc.: 'one hair of the wolf, and that from his

=30= 12 =cartoncejo=: the ending =-cejo= is unusual and contrary to the
ruling of the Academy (of which Galdos is a member); the Academy's rule
is that =-ito,-illo,-ico,-uelo=, usually become =-cito= etc. when
affixed to a word ending with =n=, but that of =-ajo,-ejo,-ijo=, only
=-ajo= allows euphonic letters to be prefixed to it, and that without
set rule.

=30= 34 =ristras=: the noun 'trace,' the exact equivalent of =ristra=,
is not in English dictionaries; but see the verb in Webster, and the
noun in the list of prizes of the Vermont State Fair, 1910. 'Rope' is a
better-known word for the same thing.

=31= 3 =la Corte=: 'the Capital,' Madrid.
