Lopez laughed. "Wait and see. Life shall be yours. And love! Planty money! All what your 'eart desire. Now go...."
Pedro started to show them out the door. Gilbert, seeing the movement, said:
"But I don't understand ..."
"I shall call you soon," Lopez said. "Zen you shall see. Now go." He got between them, and affectionately directed them to the door.
Gilbert turned to him. "You aren't going to ..."
The bandit smiled. "Do not worry. I shall do no 'arm. Only good. Please go, my frand."
Lucia and Gilbert, deeply puzzled, obeyed, and followed Pedro into the open air. What did this portend? There had been a strange look in the eyes of Pancho Lopez.
