The man who sat at the marble-topped table of the Cafe of the Great Captain-if I translate the sign aright-was a man of leisure. A tall man, with a trim beard and grave grey eyes that searched the street absently as though not quite certain of his quest. He sipped a coffee con leche and drummed a little tune on the table with his slender white hands.He was dressed in black, which is the conventional garb in Spain, and his black cloak was lined with velvet. His cravat was of black satin, and his well-fitting trousers were strapped under his pointed boots, in the manner affected by certain caballero.These features of his attire were the most striking, though he was dressed conventionally enough-for Cordova. He might have been a Spaniard, for grey eyes are a legacy of the Army of Occupation, and many were the unions between Wellington's rollicking Irishmen and the susceptible ladies of the Estremadura.His speech was flawless. He spoke with the lisp of Andalusia, clipping his words as do the folk of the South. Also, there was evidence of his Southern origin in his response to the whining beggar that shuffled painfully to him, holding out crooked fingers for largess."In the name of the Virgin, and the Saints, and the God who is above all, I beseech you, senor, to spare me ten centimes."The bearded man brought his far-seeing eyes to focus on the palm."God will provide," he said, in the slurred Arabic of Spanish Morocco.
