"Yes, they do."
"You're certain?"
"I made it my business to find out. They are going to take a guide.
Have him engaged, in fact."
"Who is he?"
"Oh, a no good Mexican, a chap named Juan Baptista."
"Juan Baptista!" exclaimed Bellew slapping his leg, "that's fine.
Couldn't be better."
"You know him?"
"So well that he'll have to do anything I say."
"You can make him obey you then?"
"I know of a horse stealing case in which he was mixed up. If he won't do what we tell him to I'll threaten him with exposure."
