Goodwin
set
the
valise
quickly
upon
the
table
and
began
to
unfasten
the
straps
.
The
lady
stood
by
,
with
an
expression
of
infinite
scorn
and
weariness
upon
her
face
.
The
valise
opened
wide
to
a
powerful
,
sidelong
wrench
.
Goodwin
dragged
out
two
or
three
articles
of
clothing
,
exposing
the
bulk
of
its
contents
--
package
after
package
of
tightly
packed
United
States
bank
and
treasury
notes
of
large
denomination
.
Reckoning
from
the
high
figures
written
upon
the
paper
bands
that
bound
them
,
the
total
must
have
come
closely
upon
the
hundred
thousand
mark
.
Goodwin
glanced
swiftly
at
the
woman
,
and
saw
,
with
surprise
and
a
thrill
of
pleasure
that
he
wondered
at
,
that
she
had
experienced
an
unmistakable
shock
.
Her
eyes
grew
wide
,
she
gasped
,
and
leaned
heavily
against
the
table
.
She
had
been
ignorant
,
then
,
he
inferred
,
that
her
companion
had
looted
the
government
treasury
.
But
why
,
he
angrily
asked
himself
,
should
he
be
so
well
pleased
to
think
this
wandering
and
unscrupulous
singer
not
so
black
as
report
had
painted
her
?
A
noise
in
the
other
room
startled
them
both
.
The
door
swung
open
,
and
a
tall
,
elderly
,
dark
complexioned
man
,
recently
shaven
,
hurried
into
the
room
.
All
the
pictures
of
President
Miraflores
represent
him
as
the
possessor
of
a
luxuriant
supply
of
dark
and
carefully
tended
whiskers
;
but
the
story
of
the
barber
,
Estebán
,
had
prepared
Goodwin
for
the
change
.
The
man
stumbled
in
from
the
dark
room
,
his
eyes
blinking
at
the
lamplight
,
and
heavy
from
sleep
.
"
What
does
this
mean
?
"
he
demanded
in
excellent
English
,
with
a
keen
and
perturbed
look
at
the
American
--
"
robbery
?
"
"
Very
near
it
,
"
answered
Goodwin
.
"
But
I
rather
think
I
'm
in
time
to
prevent
it
.
I
represent
the
people
to
whom
this
money
belongs
,
and
I
have
come
to
convey
it
back
to
them
.
"
He
thrust
his
hand
into
a
pocket
of
his
loose
,
linen
coat
.
The
other
man
's
hand
went
quickly
behind
him
.
"
Do
n't
draw
,
"
called
Goodwin
,
sharply
;
"
I
've
got
you
covered
from
my
pocket
.
"
