“May he not fail?”
“He is my Tocayo.”
“Will he come in any weather?”
“At any time. He has no fear. My name is Blasco, his Blasquito.”
“So he cannot fail to come to Guernsey?”
“I come one month—he the other.”
“I understand.”
“Counting from Saturday last, one week from to-day, five days cannot elapse without bringing Blasquito.”
“But if there is much sea?”
“Bad weather?”
