Goodwin
?
Please
do
n't
say
no
.
Is
n't
it
warm
?
I
feel
just
like
Mariana
in
her
moated
grange
--
or
was
it
a
range
?
--
it
's
hot
enough
.
"
"
No
,
there
's
no
news
to
tell
,
I
believe
,
"
said
Goodwin
,
with
a
mischievous
look
in
his
eye
,
"
except
that
old
Geddie
is
getting
grumpier
and
crosser
every
day
.
If
something
does
n't
happen
to
relieve
his
mind
I
'll
have
to
quit
smoking
on
his
back
porch
--
and
there
's
no
other
place
available
that
is
cool
enough
.
"
"
He
is
n't
grumpy
,
"
said
Paula
Brannigan
,
impulsively
,
"
when
he
--
"
But
she
ceased
suddenly
,
and
drew
back
with
a
deepening
colour
;
for
her
mother
had
been
a
mestizo
lady
,
and
the
Spanish
blood
had
brought
to
Paula
a
certain
shyness
that
was
an
adornment
to
the
other
half
of
her
demonstrative
nature
.
Willard
Geddie
,
consul
for
the
United
States
in
Coralio
,
was
working
leisurely
on
his
yearly
report
.
Goodwin
,
who
had
strolled
in
as
he
did
daily
for
a
smoke
on
the
much
coveted
porch
,
had
found
him
so
absorbed
in
his
work
that
he
departed
after
roundly
abusing
the
consul
for
his
lack
of
hospitality
.
"
I
shall
complain
to
the
civil
service
department
,
"
said
Goodwin
;
--
"
or
is
it
a
department
?
--
perhaps
it
's
only
a
theory
.
One
gets
neither
civility
nor
service
from
you
.
You
wo
n't
talk
;
and
you
wo
n't
set
out
anything
to
drink
.
What
kind
of
a
way
is
that
of
representing
your
government
?
"
Goodwin
strolled
out
and
across
to
the
hotel
to
see
if
he
could
bully
the
quarantine
doctor
into
a
game
on
Coralio
's
solitary
billiard
table
.
His
plans
were
completed
for
the
interception
of
the
fugitives
from
the
capital
;
and
now
it
was
but
a
waiting
game
that
he
had
to
play
.
The
consul
was
interested
in
his
report
.
He
was
only
twenty-four
;
and
he
had
not
been
in
Coralio
long
enough
for
his
enthusiasm
to
cool
in
the
heat
of
the
tropics
--
a
paradox
that
may
be
allowed
between
Cancer
and
Capricorn
.
So
many
thousand
bunches
of
bananas
,
so
many
thousand
oranges
and
cocoanuts
,
so
many
ounces
of
gold
dust
,
pounds
of
rubber
,
coffee
,
indigo
and
sarsaparilla
--
actually
,
exports
were
twenty
per
cent
.
greater
than
for
the
previous
year
!
A
little
thrill
of
satisfaction
ran
through
the
consul
.
Perhaps
,
he
thought
,
the
State
Department
,
upon
reading
his
introduction
,
would
notice
--
and
then
he
leaned
back
in
his
chair
and
laughed
.
He
was
getting
as
bad
as
the
others
.
