"Yes."
"I'll come to see you some day."
Before Manuel had gone to bed, Roberto appeared again in the dining-room.
"Listen," he said to Manuel. "If you know any strange place in the slums where criminals get together, let me hear. I'll go with you."
"I'll let you know, never you mind."
"Fine. See you again. Good-bye!"
Roberto extended his hand to Manuel, who pressed it with deep gratitude.
