"That is most fortunate; I will give you a letter for Señor Parfindo, to whom I will ask you to deliver it immediately on your arrival."
"Then you want to send me to the pueblo?"
"Have you any repugnance to return there?"
"Not the slightest; still, I shall not remain there on account of that night's business."
"Ah, yes, that is true, the soldier's death—take care."
"Oh, I shall only remain at the pueblo just long enough to perform the duty you entrust to me, and then leave it immediately."
"That will be most prudent. But no, stay; upon reflection, I think it will be better for you not to return to the Real de Minas. I will send my letter by another person."
"I prefer that. Have you any other order to give me?"
"None; so you can do what you think proper: but remember that I expect you in a week, and so act accordingly."
"I shall not forget it, caray!"
