It
is
very
possible
,
"
Charles
Gould
said
very
low
,
as
if
speaking
to
himself
,
and
still
gazing
at
the
sketch
of
the
San
Tome
gorge
upon
the
wall
.
"
Yes
,
I
expect
they
will
try
that
.
"
Charles
Gould
looked
for
the
first
time
at
the
doctor
.
"
It
would
give
me
time
,
"
he
added
.
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Dr.
Monygham
,
suppressing
his
excitement
.
"
Especially
if
Don
Pepe
behaves
diplomatically
.
Why
should
n't
he
give
them
some
hope
of
success
?
Eh
?
Otherwise
you
would
n't
gain
so
much
time
.
Could
n't
he
be
instructed
to
--
"
Charles
Gould
,
looking
at
the
doctor
steadily
,
shook
his
head
,
but
the
doctor
continued
with
a
certain
amount
of
fire
--
"
Yes
,
to
enter
into
negotiations
for
the
surrender
of
the
mine
.
It
is
a
good
notion
.
You
would
mature
your
plan
.
Of
course
,
I
do
n't
ask
what
it
is
.
I
do
n't
want
to
know
.
I
would
refuse
to
listen
to
you
if
you
tried
to
tell
me
.
I
am
not
fit
for
confidences
.
"
"
What
nonsense
!
"
muttered
Charles
Gould
,
with
displeasure
.
He
disapproved
of
the
doctor
's
sensitiveness
about
that
far-off
episode
of
his
life
.
So
much
memory
shocked
Charles
Gould
.
It
was
like
morbidness
.
And
again
he
shook
his
head
.
He
refused
to
tamper
with
the
open
rectitude
of
Don
Pepe
's
conduct
,
both
from
taste
and
from
policy
.
Instructions
would
have
to
be
either
verbal
or
in
writing
.
In
either
case
they
ran
the
risk
of
being
intercepted
.
It
was
by
no
means
certain
that
a
messenger
could
reach
the
mine
;
and
,
besides
,
there
was
no
one
to
send
.
It
was
on
the
tip
of
Charles
's
tongue
to
say
that
only
the
late
Capataz
de
Cargadores
could
have
been
employed
with
some
chance
of
success
and
the
certitude
of
discretion
.
But
he
did
not
say
that
.
He
pointed
out
to
the
doctor
that
it
would
have
been
bad
policy
.
Directly
Don
Pepe
let
it
be
supposed
that
he
could
be
bought
over
,
the
Administrador
's
personal
safety
and
the
safety
of
his
friends
would
become
endangered
.
For
there
would
be
then
no
reason
for
moderation
.
The
incorruptibility
of
Don
Pepe
was
the
essential
and
restraining
fact
.
The
doctor
hung
his
head
and
admitted
that
in
a
way
it
was
so
.
He
could
n't
deny
to
himself
that
the
reasoning
was
sound
enough
.
Don
Pepe
's
usefulness
consisted
in
his
unstained
character
.
As
to
his
own
usefulness
,
he
reflected
bitterly
it
was
also
his
own
character
.
He
declared
to
Charles
Gould
that
he
had
the
means
of
keeping
Sotillo
from
joining
his
forces
with
Montero
,
at
least
for
the
present
.
"
If
you
had
had
all
this
silver
here
,
"
the
doctor
said
,
"
or
even
if
it
had
been
known
to
be
at
the
mine
,
you
could
have
bribed
Sotillo
to
throw
off
his
recent
Monterism
.
You
could
have
induced
him
either
to
go
away
in
his
steamer
or
even
to
join
you
.
"
"
Certainly
not
that
last
,
"
Charles
Gould
declared
,
firmly
.
"
What
could
one
do
with
a
man
like
that
,
afterwards
--
tell
me
,
doctor
?
The
silver
is
gone
,
and
I
am
glad
of
it
.
It
would
have
been
an
immediate
and
strong
temptation
.
The
scramble
for
that
visible
plunder
would
have
precipitated
a
disastrous
ending
.
I
would
have
had
to
defend
it
,
too
.
I
am
glad
we
've
removed
it
--
even
if
it
is
lost
.
It
would
have
been
a
danger
and
a
curse
.
"
"
Perhaps
he
is
right
,
"
the
doctor
,
an
hour
later
,
said
hurriedly
to
Mrs.
Gould
,
whom
he
met
in
the
corridor
.
"
The
thing
is
done
,
and
the
shadow
of
the
treasure
may
do
just
as
well
as
the
substance
.
Let
me
try
to
serve
you
to
the
whole
extent
of
my
evil
reputation
.
I
am
off
now
to
play
my
game
of
betrayal
with
Sotillo
,
and
keep
him
off
the
town
.
"
