"
"
Absolutely
,
"
said
Charles
Gould
's
impassive
voice
,
high
up
and
outside
the
dim
parallelogram
of
light
falling
on
the
road
through
the
open
door
.
With
Sotillo
expected
from
one
side
,
and
Pedro
Montero
from
the
other
,
the
engineer-in-chief
's
only
anxiety
now
was
to
avoid
a
collision
with
either
.
Sulaco
,
for
him
,
was
a
railway
station
,
a
terminus
,
workshops
,
a
great
accumulation
of
stores
.
As
against
the
mob
the
railway
defended
its
property
,
but
politically
the
railway
was
neutral
.
He
was
a
brave
man
;
and
in
that
spirit
of
neutrality
he
had
carried
proposals
of
truce
to
the
self-appointed
chiefs
of
the
popular
party
,
the
deputies
Fuentes
and
Gamacho
.
Bullets
were
still
flying
about
when
he
had
crossed
the
Plaza
on
that
mission
,
waving
above
his
head
a
white
napkin
belonging
to
the
table
linen
of
the
Amarilla
Club
.
He
was
rather
proud
of
this
exploit
;
and
reflecting
that
the
doctor
,
busy
all
day
with
the
wounded
in
the
patio
of
the
Casa
Gould
,
had
not
had
time
to
hear
the
news
,
he
began
a
succinct
narrative
.
He
had
communicated
to
them
the
intelligence
from
the
Construction
Camp
as
to
Pedro
Montero
.
The
brother
of
the
victorious
general
,
he
had
assured
them
,
could
be
expected
at
Sulaco
at
any
time
now
.
This
news
(
as
he
anticipated
)
,
when
shouted
out
of
the
window
by
Senor
Gamacho
,
induced
a
rush
of
the
mob
along
the
Campo
Road
towards
Rincon
.
The
two
deputies
also
,
after
shaking
hands
with
him
effusively
,
mounted
and
galloped
off
to
meet
the
great
man
.
"
I
have
misled
them
a
little
as
to
the
time
,
"
the
chief
engineer
confessed
.
"
However
hard
he
rides
,
he
can
scarcely
get
here
before
the
morning
.
But
my
object
is
attained
.
I
've
secured
several
hours
'
peace
for
the
losing
party
.
But
I
did
not
tell
them
anything
about
Sotillo
,
for
fear
they
would
take
it
into
their
heads
to
try
to
get
hold
of
the
harbour
again
,
either
to
oppose
him
or
welcome
him
--
there
's
no
saying
which
.
There
was
Gould
's
silver
,
on
which
rests
the
remnant
of
our
hopes
.
Decoud
's
retreat
had
to
be
thought
of
,
too
.
I
think
the
railway
has
done
pretty
well
by
its
friends
without
compromising
itself
hopelessly
.
Now
the
parties
must
be
left
to
themselves
.
"
"
Costaguana
for
the
Costaguaneros
,
"
interjected
the
doctor
,
sardonically
.
"
It
is
a
fine
country
,
and
they
have
raised
a
fine
crop
of
hates
,
vengeance
,
murder
,
and
rapine
--
those
sons
of
the
country
.
"
"
Well
,
I
am
one
of
them
,
"
Charles
Gould
's
voice
sounded
,
calmly
,
"
and
I
must
be
going
on
to
see
to
my
own
crop
of
trouble
.
My
wife
has
driven
straight
on
,
doctor
?
"
"
Yes
.
All
was
quiet
on
this
side
.
Mrs.
Gould
has
taken
the
two
girls
with
her
.
"
Charles
Gould
rode
on
,
and
the
engineer-in-chief
followed
the
doctor
indoors
.
"
That
man
is
calmness
personified
,
"
he
said
,
appreciatively
,
dropping
on
a
bench
,
and
stretching
his
well-shaped
legs
in
cycling
stockings
nearly
across
the
doorway
.
"
He
must
be
extremely
sure
of
himself
.
