Afterward, when he is quite tired and no longer quick, the matador sticks the sword into him. He kept rushing the matador, who always slipped smartly and gracefully aside in time, waiting for a sure chance; and at last it came; the bull made a deadly plunge for him - was avoided neatly, and as he sped by, the long sword glided silently into him, between left shoulder and spine - in and in, to the hilt. When the bullock has been dragged to the spot where it is to be slaughtered, the matador with great caution cuts the hamstrings. |
