Adapted from The Underdogs

"So we're in Limon, eh, the famous Demetrio Macias' country, eh? Do you hear that, Lieutenant? We're in Limon. I'll wager you know Macias the bandit, old woman? I was in the pen with him at Escobedo, once."
"Come on, Sergeant, tell the corporal outside to unsaddle the horses and feed them. We’re staying here tonight.”
Suddenly a white shadow loomed on the threshold.
"Demetrio Macias!" the sergeant cried as he stepped back in terror.
The lieutenant stood up, silent, cold and motionless as a statue.
"Make them leave!" the woman croaked.
