I am a friend of Don Leon Gonzales, one of Moras's officers, whom I believe you know.

He will be here in a minute or two.

He has followed us at a distance, to be sure that we were not watched.

He enlisted me in this enterprise, and I have gladly given my assistance, which indeed was confined to bringing you here.

All the rest he has managed himself, with the aid of six of his men who accompanied him here.
