Francisco
Villafranca
.
-
He
was
the
engineer
in
charge
.
Now
let
me
straighten
it
out
.
Something
happened
and
there
was
a
cave-in
.
Right
.
Right
.
That
was
it
.
Nobody
died
,
as
I
remember
,
but
it
made
a
hell
of
a
mess
.
-
Quite
a
scandal
.
"
"
Oh
?
"
"
There
was
some
mistake
in
his
calculations
.
-
Or
at
least
,
the
Machine
said
so
.
They
fed
through
Villafranca
's
data
,
assumptions
,
and
so
on
.
The
stuff
he
had
started
with
.
The
answers
came
out
differently
.
It
seems
the
answers
Villafranca
had
used
did
n't
take
account
of
the
effect
of
a
heavy
rainfall
on
the
contours
of
the
cut
.
-
Or
something
like
that
.
I
'm
not
an
engineer
,
you
understand
.
"
Anyway
,
Villafranca
put
up
a
devil
of
a
squawk
.
He
claimed
the
Machine
's
answer
had
been
different
the
first
time
.
That
he
had
followed
the
Machine
faithfully
.
Then
he
quit
!
We
offered
to
hold
him
on
--
reasonable
doubt
,
previous
work
satisfactory
,
and
all
that
--
in
a
subordinate
position
,
of
course
--
had
to
do
that
much
--
mistakes
ca
n't
go
unnoticed
--
bad
for
discipline
-
Where
was
I
?
"
"
You
offered
to
hold
him
on
.
"
"
Oh
yes
.
He
refused
.
-
Well
,
take
all
in
all
,
we
're
two
months
behind
.
Hell
,
that
's
nothing
.
"
Byerley
stretched
out
his
hand
and
let
the
fingers
tap
lightly
on
the
desk
,
"
Villafranca
blamed
the
Machine
,
did
he
?
"
"
Well
,
he
was
n't
going
to
blame
himself
,
was
he
?
Let
's
face
it
;
human
nature
is
an
old
friend
of
ours
.
Besides
,
I
remember
something
else
now
-
Why
the
hell
ca
n't
I
find
documents
when
I
want
them
?
My
filing
system
is
n't
worth
a
damn
-
This
Villafranca
was
a
member
of
one
of
your
Northern
organizations
.
Mexico
is
too
close
to
the
North
!
that
's
part
of
the
trouble
.
