The
lady
arose
from
her
chair
and
stood
for
a
moment
,
thinking
deeply
.
"
Do
you
live
here
,
Mr.
Goodwin
?
"
she
asked
,
presently
.
"
Yes
.
"
"
What
is
your
authority
for
this
intrusion
?
"
"
I
am
an
instrument
of
the
republic
.
I
was
advised
by
wire
of
the
movements
of
the
--
gentleman
in
Number
10
.
"
"
May
I
ask
you
two
or
three
questions
?
I
believe
you
to
be
a
man
more
apt
to
be
truthful
than
--
timid
.
What
sort
of
a
town
is
this
--
Coralio
,
I
think
they
call
it
?
"
"
Not
much
of
a
town
,
"
said
Goodwin
,
smiling
.
"
A
banana
town
,
as
they
run
.
Grass
huts
,
'
dobes
,
five
or
six
two-story
houses
,
accommodations
limited
,
population
half-breed
Spanish
and
Indian
,
Caribs
and
blackamoors
.
No
sidewalks
to
speak
of
,
no
amusements
.
Rather
unmoral
.
That
's
an
offhand
sketch
,
of
course
.
"
"
Are
there
any
inducements
,
say
in
a
social
or
in
a
business
way
,
for
people
to
reside
here
?
"
"
Oh
,
yes
,
"
answered
Goodwin
,
smiling
broadly
.
"
There
are
no
afternoon
teas
,
no
hand-organs
,
no
department
stores
--
and
there
is
no
extradition
treaty
.
"
"
He
told
me
,
"
went
on
the
lady
,
speaking
as
if
to
herself
,
and
with
a
slight
frown
,
"
that
there
were
towns
on
this
coast
of
beauty
and
importance
;
that
there
was
a
pleasing
social
order
--
especially
an
American
colony
of
cultured
residents
.
