Synopsis
Excerpt from Saunterings in Summerland
Manuel is not the picturesque figure of olden time. The showy jacket of velveteen, the silken sash, the broad brimmed sombrero, heavy with gold braid, have been doffed for the commonplace garb that bears the stamp ready made in every ugly fold.
Ambition is not the predominant trait of these people of the adobe. There is always a tomorrow for them. As for today - the sunshine is warm, and there is enough corn in the jar for the coming meal of tortillas. After that, God will provide.
It is the firm, unwavering conviction that nothing which can be put off until tomorrow should be done today, that keeps the Mexican citizen high and dry upon the strand, while the tide of progress sweeps by and touches him not.
