“We don’t know. Julio has quarrelled with José, and refuses to speak to him; and he says José would not answer him if he did.”
“Do you suppose any thing has gone wrong with Raymond?” asked Bark anxiously.
“I don’t know; but it looks bad to see this fellow coming back at this time.”
“Well, can’t you see José, and ask him what has become of Raymond?”
“Certainly I can; but whether he will tell me is another thing.”
“Of course he will tell you: why shouldn’t he?”
“Circumstances alter cases. If Raymond has dismissed him in order to continue his journey in some other way, José will tell all he knows about it.”
“Do you suppose that is what he has done?”
“I am afraid not,” answered Lobo seriously.
“What has become of him, then?” asked Bark, almost borne down by anxiety for his friend.
