"Pardon me for venturing to contradict you, señor; but I fear you will not find it very easy to steal through Los Teycos. For three days it has been held by a company of infantry and all the outlets are strictly guarded. No civilian unfurnished with a safe conduct from the captain-general is allowed to pass." "Caramba! We are between two fires, it seems. Well, we must make a dash for it.
Everything depends on how soon the last of them go by. If we have only a few minutes start they will never overtake us, and once on the other side of Los Teycos we shall be safe both from discovery and pursuit. European cavalry are of no use in a Venezuelan forest; and I don't think these Irun fellows have any blood-hounds." "Blood-hounds!
The sentries cannot stop us, and we can gallop through before they turn out the guard." "The horses will be very tired by that time, señor, and the troopers can get fresh mounts at Los Teycos. But I know a way " "The Indian trail! Do you know the Indian trail?" "Yes, sir.
They have that hill to descend, this to mount; and our horses are better than theirs." "Are you going far, señor?" inquired Gahra. "To the llanos." "By Los Teycos?" "Yes. We shall easily steal through Los Teycos, and I know of a place in the forest beyond, where we can hide during the day."
