I
am
very
glad
to
see
you
,
John
--
may
I
call
you
John
?
"
he
said
.
"
Let
me
thank
you
for
your
prompt
answer
to
our
postmaster
's
letter
of
inquiry
.
He
volunteered
to
write
to
you
on
my
behalf
.
I
was
looking
about
for
something
different
in
the
way
of
a
business
in
which
the
profits
would
be
greater
.
I
had
noticed
in
the
papers
that
this
coast
was
receiving
much
attention
from
investors
.
I
am
extremely
grateful
for
your
advice
to
come
.
I
sold
out
everything
that
I
possess
,
and
invested
the
proceeds
in
as
fine
a
stock
of
shoes
as
could
be
bought
in
the
North
.
You
have
a
picturesque
town
here
,
John
.
I
hope
business
will
be
as
good
as
your
letter
justifies
me
in
expecting
.
"
Johnny
's
agony
was
abbreviated
by
the
arrival
of
Keogh
,
who
hurried
up
with
the
news
that
Mrs.
Goodwin
would
be
much
pleased
to
place
rooms
at
the
disposal
of
Mr.
Hemstetter
and
his
daughter
.
So
there
Mr.
Hemstetter
and
Rosine
were
at
once
conducted
and
left
to
recuperate
from
the
fatigue
of
the
voyage
,
while
Johnny
went
down
to
see
that
the
cases
of
shoes
were
safely
stored
in
the
customs
warehouse
pending
their
examination
by
the
officials
.
Keogh
,
grinning
like
a
shark
,
skirmished
about
to
find
Goodwin
,
to
instruct
him
not
to
expose
to
Mr.
Hemstetter
the
true
state
of
Coralio
as
a
shoe
market
until
Johnny
had
been
given
a
chance
to
redeem
the
situation
,
if
such
a
thing
were
possible
.
That
night
the
consul
and
Keogh
held
a
desperate
consultation
on
the
breezy
porch
of
the
consulate
.
"
Send
'em
back
home
,
"
began
Keogh
,
reading
Johnny
's
thoughts
.
"
I
would
,
"
said
Johnny
,
after
a
little
silence
;
"
but
I
've
been
lying
to
you
,
Billy
.
"
"
All
right
about
that
,
"
said
Keogh
,
affably
.
"
I
've
told
you
hundreds
of
times
,
"
said
Johnny
,
slowly
,
"
that
I
had
forgotten
that
girl
,
have
n't
I
?
"
"
About
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
,
"
admitted
the
monument
of
patience
.
"
I
lied
,
"
repeated
the
consul
,
"
every
time
.
I
never
forgot
her
for
one
minute
.
I
was
an
obstinate
ass
for
running
away
just
because
she
said
'
No
'
once
.
And
I
was
too
proud
a
fool
to
go
back
.
I
talked
with
Rosine
a
few
minutes
this
evening
up
at
Goodwin
's
.
I
found
out
one
thing
.
You
remember
that
farmer
fellow
who
was
always
after
her
?
