Nacional heard this answer through the door of his master 's room , and transmitted it to a _ peón _ belonging to the hacienda who stood waiting on the stairs . `` Let him tell thee who he is ! Unless he does , the master wo n't get up . '' It was eight o'clock . The _ banderillero _ peeped out of the window , following with his gaze the _ peón _ who ran along the road in front of the plantation until he came to the farther end of the wire fence that surrounded the estate . Near the entrance to this enclosure he saw a man on horseback , -- so small in the distance , both man and horse seemed to have stepped out of a box of toys . The laborer soon returned , after having talked with the horseman .
