Every time some new aspect of his grotesque and humiliating mistake occurred to him he suffered a nervous twinge. Reconciling himself as best he could to the prospect of an interview with some importunate stranger, he grudgingly consented to have the visitor brought in. Professor Herara was not alone.
Professor Jesus Herara stared at the speaker as if his mastery of the English language was, after all, incomplete. Torres, seeing that he was missing something, interpolated a smiling inquiry; then, as his interpreter made the situation clear, his honeyed smile froze, his sparkling eyes opened in bewilderment. He stared about the room again, as if doubting that he had come to the right place.
"You were making sport, then, of my friend " "No, no! It's another person altogether." "Who?" "I don't know her name." "WHAT?" Herara was about to burst forth when his friend nudged him and he was obliged to put this amazing declaration into Spanish. Senor Torres breathed heavily and exploded an oath. "I met her in the country and made a mistake in the town houses," Kirk floundered on.
Senor Torres maintained a set smile designed to be agreeable; Professor Herara, serene in the possession of his linguistic acquirements, displayed the insouciance of an undertaker. Together they beamed benignantly, almost patronizingly, upon the young man. Plainly they meant to put him at his ease but they failed.
His place of business you will have noticed upon the water-front, perhaps?" Kirk wiped his brow nervously and cursed Allan. "And now, as for you, senor?" The principal of the Herara College of Business awaited an answer with unctuous deference.
If you wish, I'll apologize in person to Miss Torres." At this Herara cried out in horror; then, after a brief colloquy with the father, he rose stiffly, saying: "I offer no words from my friend. For the present he does not believe, nor do I. Inquiries will be institute, of that be assured.
Professor Jesus Herara raised his brows and inclined his head like a polite school-teacher endeavoring to encourage a diffident pupil. "I regret that I do not." "He is one of our most estimable citizens. He is possess' not only of the magnificent residence at No. 89 Avenida Norte, but also of a comfortable abode at Las Savannas, and he has a large trade in sponges and hides.
If you have deceived if your intentions were not of the most honorable" the head of the Herara Business College glared in a horrible manner "you will have occasion to regret those foolish jokes." Kirk tried to explain that his present regrets were ample for all time, but, bowing formally, the visitors withdrew, leaving him to revile anew the name of Allan Allan.
