"I'll hurry." Hall dressed quickly, shaved, and went downstairs with Pepe. They got into the car and Pepe headed in the direction of the railroad terminal.
"Fielding was run down by an automobile near his house," Pepe said.
"Was it a Rolls-Royce?"
"I don't know. There was only one witness. An old woman. She said that he was walking across the street and the automobile just hit him and kept on going. She said it looked as if he walked into the car."
"Who is the old woman?"
"A farmer's wife. She was on her way to the market with a wagon of meal."
"Didn't she describe the car?"
"I don't think so, Mateo. The Englishman died instantly. He had a gun in his pocket when they found him. Didn't have a chance to use it against his murderers."
"Where are we going now?"
"No place. I just pointed our noses toward the railroad for the benefit of anyone watching us from the hotel."
