"Have they called the Embassy yet?"
"Not yet, compañero."
"What happened to the men the maricón met at the pier?"
"We have them under sharp eyes. They went first to Jorge Davila's home. Then they went to the country. They are in Bocas del Sur at the estate of Gamburdo's brother, the cattle raiser. The maricón left them there. He is now in San Hermano with Ansaldo. They were to be with Don Anibal this afternoon."
"And the girl?"
"With Ansaldo."
"When are you going back to the Bolivar?"
"In an hour."
"Tell her that I telephoned to say that I would be out of the city tonight. I was to see her for dinner. What about the priests from the boat? Are they all really priests?"
"Who knows? Perhaps I shall know more when I return to the city."
