He waved one hand, as though brushing calmly aside some imagined insect.
His companions, he said, were not disinclined to join the "free army" he had come to ask how the masters of Schouwen fared. Zorrillo offered the sergeant-major a chair, and after the latter had raised and emptied two beakers from the barmaid's pewter waiter in quick succession, he glanced around the circle of his rebel comrades.
