EXCERPT
The dialog of the Quinteros is lively and natural, at times sparkling with wit--they are inveterate punsters--, and again charged with rich, quiet humor. Long speeches are rare. Their Castilian is highly idiomatic, but not free from Gallicisms and slang. For this reason it has not the value as a pure speech-type that one finds in their Andalusian writings.
