Francis Hartness had gone with Tupac who, in the sight of the Spaniards, was only his Indian servant and guide on a mission of importance to the South, where the first rumblings of the coming war-storm were already making themselves heard.
But the next time that Francis Hartness spoke to her through my lips she looked up at him, and a little flush came to her cheeks, and a smile to her lips, and I saw his eyes brighten, and the colour deepen ever so little under the bronze of his skin.
Then thou shalt see how Vilcaroya deals with his enemies. He bent his head in assent, and took his place beside Hartness, and as we marched away Hartness said to me, 'I don't think I shall have much to teach you in strategy, Vilcaroya, but I must say that I would rather have a stand-up fight than this kind of thing.
'And therefore enemies, I said, when he had finished his story, and stood waiting for me to speak. I told Francis Hartness at once what Anahuac had said, and we debated for a short time on what we should do. Then I called Tupac, and he came and stood beside Anahuac, and I said to them,
And in this plan Francis Hartness, looking at the matter as a soldier, also agreed with me.
Moreover, there are always factions of men they call politicians scheming for power and setting the soldiers fighting against one another and against their countrymen for no benefit to themselves. So what Francis Hartness had told me on the night that Golden Star had come back to life had already begun to come true.
It was then about eight o'clock at night, and after we had had our evening meal we waited until it was nearly eleven, making perfect our plans, and then, when Ruth and Golden Star had gone to rest without knowing of the work which we had in hand for we had kept it from them lest they should be anxious for us Francis Hartness and I armed ourselves, after I had disguised him as well as I could to make him look like an Indian, and we said good-night to the professor and left the fortress by the same way that we had left it the night before.
Meanwhile Hartness had cleared the other end of the terrace, and taken the other gun after killing nearly every man who had defended it.
I still kept silence, knowing as I did what the night was to bring forth. But Francis Hartness answered for me, and said, 'I don't think you can quite put it that way, Djama, if you'll excuse me saying so. If I am not mistaken, it has been clearly understood that the first treasure-house to be unlocked is the one that holds Vilcaroya's greatest treasure his wife and what you say seems to suggest
So then Francis Hartness turned to the trembling Spaniard and questioned him, and he confessed freely as soon as he knew he was not to be killed, and told how Djama had gone to the Governor of Cuzco and told him of my coming and of a great treasure that he would show him, and of others that I knew the secret of and might be made to reveal, and how he had bargained that half of all that was found should be his and the other half the Governor's, if he would help him to carry it to the coast in safety and put it on a steamer.
