"Has also disappeared."
"Listen, brother, this situation cannot endure long; whatever happens, it must cease. Time fails me at this moment to explain to you certain matters you ought to know; but we will meet tomorrow."
"Where, and at what hour?"
"At the Salto del Frayle, at two in the afternoon."
"Why so far and so late, brother?"
"Because between this and then something will happen, which I cannot tell you at present, but which will doubtless oblige me to cross the bay and seek shelter on the mainland."
"I have no right to ask you for an explanation, brother; but take care. Whatever you may attempt, you will have to deal with a rude adversary; the General is furious against you; he has his revenge to take; and if you furnish him with the opportunity, he will not let it slip."
"I am convinced of it, friend, but the die is cast; unfortunately, we follow different roads. Heaven will help the good cause. Your hand once more, and good-bye."
"Good-bye, brother, and it is settled that we meet tomorrow."
"Death alone can prevent me being at the place of meeting I have selected."
