Pete Wilcox, trying to look casual and re- chair that laxed in a wrought-iro- n was not designed for either, was listening intently. There was something in Diego Gongaro's tone that implied a meaning underlying the superficial conversational one. He was watching the center arch, and Pete, glancing around, saw Miguel Valera come out into the patio and pull up a chair beside them. "I was just saying how intelligent your friend Miss Heywood is, Miguel," his uncle remarked easily. Miguel shrugged. "I don't know about that She's very charming, certainly." There was no reason to get hot under the collar, Pete told himself. Maybe Anne was deliberately concealing her intelligence. Sometimes she did it without deliberation. Furthermore, there was nothing offensive in preferring a girl's charm to her intelligence. Latins weren't the only ones who did that. "What have you done with the young ladies, by the way?" Taussig inquired. "My cousin is with some of my other cousins. Miss Heywood has had a tiring day. She's gone up- stairs." "I hope you'll remember your suggestion about the sugar plantation. I'm sure Miss Heywood would en- joy it too." "I'm sure we can arrange it, Mr. Taussig. I'll speak to my father. Are you engaged tomorrow?" ' "I'm afraid I am," Taussig said. "The Army is Jaking me on a tour of the island, stopping at Borinquen Field for lunch." Mr. Taussig bowed to both of them. "Good night," he said. Miguel Valera turned to his uncle and spoke again rapidly. Pete caught Graciela's name and "casa," and decided that Miguel was telling his uncle to take the girl home. At any rate Gongaro left. Miguel and Pete were alone in the patio, and the light in Anne's window was still on. Pete, watching with a kind of forlorn hope for one brief glimpse of evefiier shadow on. the screen; trying to make up his mind not to go and call her up just to hear her voice and know she was there, started to get up. As he did Valera rose and came across the grass. "Good evening, Captain," he said. "If you aren't in a hurry I wonder if you'd join me in a nightcap?" For a moment the two of them stood facing each other, the Latin tall and slender with gray eyes and black hair, the Saxon tall, lean and rangy with hazel eyes and hair, each taking the other's measure. ; "Thanks," Pete said. "Glad to." Xhey sat down. Miguel called the waiter. "You're at Headquarters, I understand," he said when he had ordered. "That's right," Pete said. "And you?" "I was ordered to Buchanan. But my orders were cancelled. I was ready, nd thought I might as well come home. It was too Cold in New York for me anyway. I'd been up for several months on business for my father." "You're a lawyer, aren't you?" Pete asked. It sounded as if being a lawyer in a time like this was a little like being a snake in the grass, which was not what he had meant. Miguel laughed. "A sot of lawyer. You have to know law to manage a sugar Central, these days of government regulation. I don't practice." "Politics?""Politics is in Latin blood," Miguel answered. "Red corpuscles, white corpuscles and politics. It means everything down here." "What about your father? Has he been in political office?" ."No. My father isn't a United States citizen. After the American occupation we were given the choice of accepting citizenship or remaining Spanish. My father chose to retain his own citizenship. A good many people did. What do you call them diehards, isn't it?" "Are they the ones who don't like the United States?" Pete asked. Valera hesitated. "Would they like to see Spain back?',' Miguel Valera shrugged. "I suppose there's the dream of seeing the scarlet and gold of Spain flying from El Morro. It's natural enough for the people who are predominantly Spanish. If the United States were conquered, you would just wait the chance to kick your conquerors out "And what about the Nationalists?" Pete asked. ' Miguel shook his head. "The cacique, or leader of the party in power, has said Nationalism is not an Issue at the present I don't think there's any Important organized Nationalist opinion here now. The Falangists and the Nationalists are the two extremes in between you have the moderates. But I didn't mean to give you a lecture on insular politics.
