"What did he during his stay here?"
"I am not aware; I believe that he hunted, though I did not see a single head of game he had killed whilst he was here."

"I think so."
"You are not certain?"
"Forgive me, niña, I am certain; we have a spot where we are safe to meet."
"But he might not be there."
