“I shall join General Bambos in his war against Yozarro, and we’ll make him pay dear for his deviltry.”
“Do you prefer the friendship of General Bambos to that of General Yozarro?”
“I don’t care a picayune for either, but I will use one against the other.”
“You forget that there is no choice between the good will of the two. When you came up the forked river you first called at Zalapata.”
“What of it?”
“General Bambos was a guest on your yacht.”
“Yes.”
“He met Señorita Starland; he has a wife and several children, but he loves the Señorita as much as does General Yozarro.”
“What a couple of wretches! Do you tell me that that is why he means to go to war with General Yozarro?”
