"The news is of the utmost importance to me, señor; still, I ask myself for what purpose you seized it?"
"Why, to do you a service, it strikes me."
"That is all very well; but, between ourselves, you had another object."
The bandit burst into a laugh.
"Did I not tell you that I wish to make a bargain?"
"That is true; but I am awaiting a full explanation from you."
"That is very difficult, señor."
"I admit that it is; well, I will put you at your ease."
"I wish for nothing better."
"I will offer you the bargain you do not like to propose."
