"And you say that she used to live in Cuco's hostelry?"
"Yes, sir."
"I know somebody who lives there," murmured the second-hand dealer.
"Yes, that's so," said Encarna.
"That man with the monkeys. Didn't he live there?" asked Señor Zurro.
"No; he lived in la Quinta de Goya," answered his daughter.
"Well, then…. Just wait a moment, young man. Wait a moment."
"Isn't it Tabuenca that lives there, father?" interrupted Encarna.
"That's the fellow. That's it. El Tabuenca. You go and see him. And tell him," added Señor Zurro, turning to Roberto, "that I sent you. He's a grouchy old fellow, as testy as they make 'em."
Roberto took leave of the second-hand man and his daughter, and in company of Manuel walked out to the gallery of the house.
