Question
adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela
"Tonight or tomorrow at the latest we'll meet the Federals. What do you say, boys, shall we let them find their way about these trails?" Demetrio asked.
The ragged crew jumped to their feet, uttering shrill cries of joy; then their jubilation turned angry again and they gave vent to threats, oaths and imprecations.
"Of course, we can't tell how strong they are," said Demetrio as his glance traveled over their faces in scrutiny.
"Do you remember Medina? Out there at Hostotipaquillo, he only had a half a dozen men. Well, he held back the soldiers, didn't he? And he defeated them, too."
"We're every bit as good as Medina's crowd!" said a tall, broad-shouldered man with a black beard and bushy eyebrows.
"Viva Demetrio Macias," they all shouted.
