Plot
John Pomfret, traveling down the Guadalquivir in Spain on his way to propose to Marie Daguilar, met the gaudily
dressed Marquis d'Almavivas
on the boat, and mistook him for a bullfighter. Assuming that such an ignorant
fellow knew no English, John examined his costume minutely, even twisting off
one of the buttons, and commented volubly to his companion on the improvidence
of spending money so dangerously earned on personal adornment. Arriving at his
destination, he was greatly embarrassed, on receiving an invitation to a
splendid entertainment, to find that his host was the man he had treated so
rudely.
