Colonel Requeñes is the speaker, he spoken to being a gentleman of middle age, in civilian costume, the dress of a haciendado.

One was plainly a Poblano; the other, by his dress, might have passed for a haciendado of the tierra caliente—perhaps a “Yucateco” on his way to the capital.

He takes a hacienda for the people and the haciendado's daughter for himself.

He administers a beating to Teresa del Castillo, sister of a haciendado who had supported Madero but refuses to support Villa.

Don Pedro came in, every inch the gentleman and grand haciendado.
