He
seemed
exhausted
by
his
perplexities
,
languid
with
disappointment
;
but
when
the
sentry
on
the
landing
thrust
his
head
in
to
announce
the
arrival
of
a
prisoner
,
he
revived
at
once
.
"
Let
him
be
brought
in
,
"
he
shouted
,
fiercely
.
The
door
flew
open
,
and
Captain
Mitchell
,
bareheaded
,
his
waistcoat
open
,
the
bow
of
his
tie
under
his
ear
,
was
hustled
into
the
room
.
Sotillo
recognized
him
at
once
.
He
could
not
have
hoped
for
a
more
precious
capture
;
here
was
a
man
who
could
tell
him
,
if
he
chose
,
everything
he
wished
to
know
--
and
directly
the
problem
of
how
best
to
make
him
talk
to
the
point
presented
itself
to
his
mind
.
The
resentment
of
a
foreign
nation
had
no
terrors
for
Sotillo
.
The
might
of
the
whole
armed
Europe
would
not
have
protected
Captain
Mitchell
from
insults
and
ill-usage
,
so
well
as
the
quick
reflection
of
Sotillo
that
this
was
an
Englishman
who
would
most
likely
turn
obstinate
under
bad
treatment
,
and
become
quite
unmanageable
.
At
all
events
,
the
colonel
smoothed
the
scowl
on
his
brow
.
"
What
!
The
excellent
Senor
Mitchell
!
"
he
cried
,
in
affected
dismay
.
The
pretended
anger
of
his
swift
advance
and
of
his
shout
,
"
Release
the
caballero
at
once
,
"
was
so
effective
that
the
astounded
soldiers
positively
sprang
away
from
their
prisoner
.
Thus
suddenly
deprived
of
forcible
support
,
Captain
Mitchell
reeled
as
though
about
to
fall
.
Sotillo
took
him
familiarly
under
the
arm
,
led
him
to
a
chair
,
waved
his
hand
at
the
room
.
"
Go
out
,
all
of
you
,
"
he
commanded
.
When
they
had
been
left
alone
he
stood
looking
down
,
irresolute
and
silent
,
watching
till
Captain
Mitchell
had
recovered
his
power
of
speech
.
Here
in
his
very
grasp
was
one
of
the
men
concerned
in
the
removal
of
the
silver
.
Sotillo
's
temperament
was
of
that
sort
that
he
experienced
an
ardent
desire
to
beat
him
;
just
as
formerly
when
negotiating
with
difficulty
a
loan
from
the
cautious
Anzani
,
his
fingers
always
itched
to
take
the
shopkeeper
by
the
throat
.
As
to
Captain
Mitchell
,
the
suddenness
,
unexpectedness
,
and
general
inconceivableness
of
this
experience
had
confused
his
thoughts
.
Moreover
,
he
was
physically
out
of
breath
.
"
I
've
been
knocked
down
three
times
between
this
and
the
wharf
,
"
he
gasped
out
at
last
.
"
Somebody
shall
be
made
to
pay
for
this
.
"
He
had
certainly
stumbled
more
than
once
,
and
had
been
dragged
along
for
some
distance
before
he
could
regain
his
stride
.
With
his
recovered
breath
his
indignation
seemed
to
madden
him
.
He
jumped
up
,
crimson
,
all
his
white
hair
bristling
,
his
eyes
glaring
vengefully
,
and
shook
violently
the
flaps
of
his
ruined
waistcoat
before
the
disconcerted
Sotillo
.
"
Look
!
Those
uniformed
thieves
of
yours
downstairs
have
robbed
me
of
my
watch
.
"
The
old
sailor
's
aspect
was
very
threatening
.
Sotillo
saw
himself
cut
off
from
the
table
on
which
his
sabre
and
revolver
were
lying
.
"
I
demand
restitution
and
apologies
,
"
Mitchell
thundered
at
him
,
quite
beside
himself
.
