"She is so young, so inexperience'——!"
"Do you mean that I'm taking advantage of her?"
Señor Saunders shrugged. He had command of a most expressive shrug.
"Well, I won't discuss that with you now," said Greg coolly. "More important things to think about. Miss Wilmot says here that you are willing to help us."
The other bowed. "Willing to help her," he amended.
Greg ignored it. He was only anxious to get rid of the man so that he could get to the task that Amy had laid upon him. "Can you tell me the situation in Managuay that has resulted in this crime?"
"I don' know much about Managuayan affairs," was the languid reply. "I am more in Paris and London."
"I see," said Greg. "But what do you think induced de Socotra to kill Antonio Bareda."
"It is incredible!" said Señor Henry. "There is somewhere a mistake. Why, the de Socotras are the oldest family in Managuay. Señor Francisco is a man of the world like myself."
"That may be," said Greg dryly, "but he did it just the same, or had it done."
