Captain
Mitchell
,
with
an
expression
as
though
making
ready
to
hear
a
sermon
in
a
church
,
would
lift
the
tiny
cup
to
his
lips
.
And
the
nectar
would
be
sipped
to
the
bottom
during
a
restful
silence
in
a
cloud
of
cigar
smoke
.
"
Look
at
this
man
in
black
just
going
out
,
"
he
would
begin
,
leaning
forward
hastily
.
"
This
is
the
famous
Hernandez
,
Minister
of
War
.
The
Times
'
special
correspondent
,
who
wrote
that
striking
series
of
letters
calling
the
Occidental
Republic
the
'
Treasure
House
of
the
World
,
'
gave
a
whole
article
to
him
and
the
force
he
has
organized
--
the
renowned
Carabineers
of
the
Campo
.
"
Captain
Mitchell
's
guest
,
staring
curiously
,
would
see
a
figure
in
a
long-tailed
black
coat
walking
gravely
,
with
downcast
eyelids
in
a
long
,
composed
face
,
a
brow
furrowed
horizontally
,
a
pointed
head
,
whose
grey
hair
,
thin
at
the
top
,
combed
down
carefully
on
all
sides
and
rolled
at
the
ends
,
fell
low
on
the
neck
and
shoulders
.
This
,
then
,
was
the
famous
bandit
of
whom
Europe
had
heard
with
interest
.
He
put
on
a
high-crowned
sombrero
with
a
wide
flat
brim
;
a
rosary
of
wooden
beads
was
twisted
about
his
right
wrist
.
And
Captain
Mitchell
would
proceed
--
"
The
protector
of
the
Sulaco
refugees
from
the
rage
of
Pedrito
.
As
general
of
cavalry
with
Barrios
he
distinguished
himself
at
the
storming
of
Tonoro
,
where
Senor
Fuentes
was
killed
with
the
last
remnant
of
the
Monterists
.
He
is
the
friend
and
humble
servant
of
Bishop
Corbelan
.
Hears
three
Masses
every
day
.
I
bet
you
he
will
step
into
the
cathedral
to
say
a
prayer
or
two
on
his
way
home
to
his
siesta
.
"
He
took
several
puffs
at
his
cigar
in
silence
;
then
,
in
his
most
important
manner
,
pronounced
:
"
The
Spanish
race
,
sir
,
is
prolific
of
remarkable
characters
in
every
rank
of
life
...
I
propose
we
go
now
into
the
billiard-room
,
which
is
cool
,
for
a
quiet
chat
.
There
's
never
anybody
there
till
after
five
.
I
could
tell
you
episodes
of
the
Separationist
revolution
that
would
astonish
you
.
When
the
great
heat
's
over
,
we
'll
take
a
turn
on
the
Alameda
.
"
The
programme
went
on
relentless
,
like
a
law
of
Nature
.
The
turn
on
the
Alameda
was
taken
with
slow
steps
and
stately
remarks
.
"
All
the
great
world
of
Sulaco
here
,
sir
.
"
Captain
Mitchell
bowed
right
and
left
with
no
end
of
formality
;
then
with
animation
,
"
Dona
Emilia
,
Mrs.
Gould
's
carriage
.
Look
.
Always
white
mules
.
The
kindest
,
most
gracious
woman
the
sun
ever
shone
upon
.
A
great
position
,
sir
.
A
great
position
.
First
lady
in
Sulaco
--
far
before
the
President
's
wife
.
And
worthy
of
it
.
"
He
took
off
his
hat
;
then
,
with
a
studied
change
of
tone
,
added
,
negligently
,
that
the
man
in
black
by
her
side
,
with
a
high
white
collar
and
a
scarred
,
snarly
face
,
was
Dr.
Monygham
,
Inspector
of
State
Hospitals
,
chief
medical
officer
of
the
Consolidated
San
Tome
mines
.
"
A
familiar
of
the
house
.
Everlastingly
there
.
No
wonder
.
The
Goulds
made
him
.
Very
clever
man
and
all
that
,
but
I
never
liked
him
.
Nobody
does
.
I
can
recollect
him
limping
about
the
streets
in
a
check
shirt
and
native
sandals
with
a
watermelon
under
his
arm
--
all
he
would
get
to
eat
for
the
day
.
A
big-wig
now
,
sir
,
and
as
nasty
as
ever
.
However
...
There
's
no
doubt
he
played
his
part
fairly
well
at
the
time
.
He
saved
us
all
from
the
deadly
incubus
of
Sotillo
,
where
a
more
particular
man
might
have
failed
