There was no nonsense about her. She was a salted traveller, and had seen and done many things, and we had a score of tastes and sympathies in common. It isn't often I'd give two sous to speak to any woman a second time; but I liked her, and said, when she went upstairs, that I hoped we'd meet again, meaning what I said. Taltavull's lean face was gloomy and threatening that evening.
The pace was almost racing pace, and to be in a race always warms one's blood. I began to share Taltavull's excitement. He was looking at his watch ever and anon, at each time crying that we should have scarcely time to meet the train. And yet it was evident that the mules could go no faster. I cast about me for some means of increasing the pace, and I was not long in hitting off an idea.
But it did not equal Taltavull's impatience, and every minute or so out went his head and beard bidding the driver to hasten and hasten; and the driver, crouched there in his little penthouse, rumbled out fierce arr-e-ees, and prodding forth a blue-sleeved arm beneath his blanket, lashed the scraggy mules into a gallop. "Good for any one with a torpid liver this," said Haigh.
I asked, as we parted at Bustamente's doorway. "When I find where the Recipe is." "And that will occupy how long? A week?" Taltavull laughed. "You will see me to-morrow afternoon at the latest," said he. Confidence is said to be infectious, but I can't say that my hopes were very highly excited by Taltavull's sanguineness of success.
