"Do I not tell you that I have the letter about me?"
"That is true; but for what purpose does the General write to the Captain?"
The soldier looked for a moment cunningly at the hunter, and then suddenly changed his tone.
"Will you play fair?" he asked him, as he looked him full in the face.
The hunter smiled.
"Good," the soldier continued; "I see that we can understand one another."
"Why not? those are the conditions that suit Caballeros."
"Then, we play fair?"
"That is agreed."
"Confess that you would like to know the contents of this letter."
