"That is your business. At the slightest mistake, I give you up."
"I do not fear that happiness."
"Did you not allude to the dexterity of your fingers?"
"Yes, I did, Excellency."
"Well, if by chance these gentlemen let any papers of importance fall, you will do well to pick them up and bring them to me at once. I am of a very curious nature."
"Enough. If I do not find any lying about, I will look for them."
"That is a good idea, which I approve of. Ah! Remember this: the papers count separately. Each of them, if worth it, will fetch you three ounces. If you make a mistake it will be all the worse for you, as you will receive nothing."
"I will take my precautions, Excellency. Now will you be kind enough to tell me where I can find you when I have communications to make, or papers to deliver?"
"That is very easy. I walk every afternoon from three till five along the canal de Las Vigas."
"I will be there."
