"Yes. Including Valdivia?"
"That above all!" said the General, with concentrated rage.
"Ah!"
"Yes, and as that province has revolted, in order to be able to give it to you, I must bring it back to its duty, must I not?"
"To be sure you must!"
"Well, as I have it at my heart to fulfil all my engagements to you, I am going instantly to march against that city; will you help me to subdue it?"
"That will be but just, as I shall labour for myself."
"How many horsemen have you at hand?"
"Twelve hundred."
"Good!" said the General, "they will be more than we shall want."
