“Have you had any note for me?”
“Nothing at all.”
“What has become of the valet de place?”
“I paid him, and sent him away immediately after your arrest.”
“I should like to have him with me as far as Perpignan.”
“You are right, and I think the best thing you can do is to leave Spain altogether, for you will find no justice in it.”

“That’s an amusing theory. Where did my hat come from?”
“It was brought to me three days after.”
