Carl gapes at Panamanian nuns and Chilean consuls, French peasant laborers and indignant Irish foremen and German concessionaries with dueling scars and high collars.
Thus Una and Walter, after a careful survey of the facts that he was too restless, that she was too Panamanian and too much mothered, after much argument as to what he had meant when he had said this, and what she had thought he meant when he had said that, and whether he could ever have been so inconsiderate as to have said the other, and frequent admiration of themselves for their open-mindedness, the questing lovers were of the same purpose as at the beginning of their inquiry.
As Paredes strolled to the foot of the stairs Bobby waited for a defensive reply, for a sign, perhaps, that the Panamanian was offended and proposed to depart. Paredes, however, went upstairs, yawning. He called back: "I must make myself a trifle more presentable for dinner." Graham faced Bobby with the old question: "What can he want hanging around here unless it's money?"
"We assume foreign airs and customs that please us and forget to retain our own, while you well, with Germans you are German, with Englishmen you are English, and yet you never forget to be Spaniards." The banker smiled. "My daughter has had a wide education for a child. She has travelled, she speaks five languages and yet, underneath it all she is a Garavel and hence a Panamanian.

This time we walked.
There have been a few instances, I believe, but for the most part they keep to themselves." "How would a fellow set about meeting the nice people." "He wouldn't. He would probably live here indefinitely and never see the inside of a Panamanian house." "But there must be some way," the young man exclaimed in desperation. "There must be dances, parties " "Of course, but Americans are not invited.

Soon she became the social dictator of the city, and the most exclusive circles, American and Panamanian alike, allowed her to assume control. The result was just what had been designed.
Cogan's notion of it was that a dozen good huskies with baseball bats could've landed on their peninsula any fine, sunny afternoon and in ten minutes rushed the whole Panamanian army into the Pacific Ocean that is, if our warships would let them. If we'd only let the Colombians alone they'd soon've wound up the Revolution so Cogan thought, and told Martin so.
