Ribiera
snarled.
"Tio
mio,"
he
protested
angrily,
"you
promised
me--"
"Your
will
in
many
things,"
said
The
Master
gently,
"but
not
in
all.
Remember
that
you
have
much
to
learn,
hijo
mio.
I
have
taught
you
to
prepare
my
little
medicine,
it
is
true.
That
is
so
you
can
take
my
place
if
age
infirmity
shall
carry
me
away."
The
Master
folded
his
hands
with
an
air
of
pious
resignation.
"But
you
must
learn
policy.
The
Senorita
Canalejas
belongs
to
the
Senor
Bell."
Jamison
was
staring,
now,
but
Bell's
eyes
had
narrowed
to
mere
slits.
"You
see,"
said
The
Master
gently,
to
him,
"I
desire
your
friendship.
You
may
go
where
you
will.
You
may
take
the
Senorita
Canalejas
with
you.
You
will
have
enough
of
the
antidote
to
my
little
medicine
to
keep
you
sane
for
perhaps
a
week.
In
one
week
you
may
go
far,
with
her.
You
may
do
many
things.
But
you
cannot
find
a
place
of
safety
for
her.
I
still
have
a
little
power,
Senor.
If
you
take
her
with
you,
your
hands
will
writhe
again.
Your
body
will
become
uncontrollable.
Your
eyes,
staring
and
horror-struck,
will
observe
your
own
hands
rending
her.
While
your
brain
is
yet
sane
you
will
see
this
body
of
yours
which
now
desires
her
so
ardently,
tearing
at
and
crushing
that
delicate
figure,
gouging
out
her
eyes,
battering
her
tender
flesh,
destroying
her....
Have
you
ever
seen
what
a
man
who
has
taken
my
little
medicine
does
to
a
human
being
at
his
mercy?"
