A new Paloma captain takes command.
Proficient mate will take the vessel's lead.
"No doubt. Who's new captain, Excellency?"
"He was first mate under Captain Luego. His
name's Frank Thompson. Perhaps you've already
met him in your past business dealings with La Paloma?"
"No, Don Hernandez, that honor's never been mine.
Captain Luego never introduced us. Of course I
know who the gentleman is for I've seen him give
commands aboard ship. It seems, as I recall, men
obeyed him very quickly."
" It's true, he uses the whip. If he didn't he couldn't
be captain. Men must sometimes be driven to do
their duty. But I don't have to tell you that, Don Huerra.
You've large land holdings and many vaqueros. I
doubt if El Segundo allows disobedience."
" El Segundo's one much man. I don't worry about
anything when he's around. But, Don Hernandez, I've
not yet had the pleasure of talking to your wife.
May I speak with her and tell her how happy
I am to be having dinner with you tonight.?"

Phew I go away for a while and you become prolific!...Just read all the ones I missed. I can honestly say I am enjoying this series so much. That Captain, tut tut a whip indeed.
Thanks for such a good read.
