Examples

“Doctor Southey, in his “Letters from Spain,” expresses his disappointment in the Españolas, and even disparages the beauty of Spanish eyes, contending that they are inferior to blue as the pupil, being of one colour, admits of no visible contraction or dilatation.”

“[…] waxing floors, and restoring furniture to the places it occupied before the invasion of the Españolas in January. Meantime, these same Spaniards are “suffering examinations,” as they aptly say, in Madrid; Miss Webb is with them and writes of their progress. Some of the professors are friendly, and all are interested in the señoritas who present themselves for the trying examinations.”

“[…] the Españolas of the better class hardly ever take a full glass of champagne; neither do the men drink strong liquors; they like ices and lemonade, but not wine.”

“There were, however, relatively few Españolas in the eighteenth-century Californias, and, as will be later demonstrated and despite the established legal recourse that Spanish women had and accessed in Spain and other centers of urban life in the Spanish Americas, in this colonial frontier the urgency of colonial control over the region dictated the degree to which these women were bound by Spanish codes of honor and virtue.”

“When some borracho Mexican men started speaking in terms of the pinche Gringos monopolizing the Españolas, Sonia and the other Spanish girls were quick to admonish them. […] The borrachos showed up at the Entre Amigos gate to drunkenly serenade the Españolas.”
