Note 28 — MÉRIMÉE'S HISTORY OF PETER THE CRUEL. [20]

Zuñiga, Anales de Sevilla.—"The people say, that Maria Coronel, pursued by Don Pedro, in the suburb of Triana, plunged her head into a pan in which a gipsy was cooking fritters. I was shown the house in front of which the incident occurred, and I was desired to remark, as an incontrovertible proof, that it is still inhabited by gipsies, whose kitchen is in the open street."—Mérimée, p. 247.
