How's that for a bit of cheap cynicism?" the low, bitter laugh was not good to hear "Man!" the brooding eyes narrowed "I've sure plumbed the depths knocking around, with the right to live. Port Said, Buenos Aires, Shanghai. . . . I've certainly travelled. Some day I'll throw the book at you.
The government of Buenos Ayres unjustly occupied it by force, instead of following the wise example of the Spanish Viceroys, who purchased the land near the older settlement of the Rio Negro, from the Indians.
