“And is that chap from this city?” he asked.
“I think he is from Ecija or thereabouts.”
“What kind of a man is he?”
“A good fellow.”
“Does he hurt any one in the country?”
“No. He appears at a farmhouse and asks the operator for a loan of ten or twelve dollars, and the operator gives it to him. He’s a good man.”
“Is he in Cordova now?”
“Yes.”
“Why don’t they arrest him?”
