“I’m not worried about how I’ll stand it. I’m only afraid I may be bored,” Cohn said. “You think so?” “Don’t look at the horses, after the bull hits them,” I said to Brett. “Watch the charge and see the picador try and keep the bull off, but then don’t look again until the horse is dead if it’s been hit.”
