Springall

Alejandro Springall is up to the job, directing the adaptation of a story by Ilán Stavans, which is produced by John Sayles and Maggie Renzi (so far as I know, it's their latest project since the undeserved box office still-birth in 2004 of the funny and wise political allegory, Silver City [... though they have just wrapped Honeydripper - dwh]).

Springall, whose astonishment had got the better of his watchfulness, and who perceived, on turning round, that the mysterious gentleman had disappeared.

"Yes," replied Springall, "two horsemen on the other road; too far off to hear my words, unless they had the ears of a hare."

And he disappeared so instantaneously from the spot, that Springall rubbed first his eyes, and then his arm, to be assured whether the events of the last few minutes were not the effects of a distempered imagination.
