   MR. TENCH went out to look for his ether cylinder1: out into the blazing Mexican sun and the bleaching2 dust. A few buzzards looked down from the roof with shabby indifference3: he wasn't carrion4 yet. A faint feeling of rebellion stirred in Mr. Tench's heart, and he wrenched5 up a piece of the road with splintering finger-nails and tossed it feebly up at them. One of them rose and flapped across the town: over the tiny plaza7, over the bust8 of an ex-president, ex-general, ex-human being, over the two stalls which sold mineral water, towards the river and the sea. It wouldn't find anything there: the sharks looked after the carrion on that side. Mr. Tench went on across the plaza.
   He said "Buenos días" to a man with a gun who sat in a small patch of shade against a wall. But it wasn't like England: the man said nothing at all, just stared malevolently9 up at Mr. Tench, as if he had never had any dealings with the foreigner, as if Mr. Tench were not responsible for his two gold bicuspid teeth. Mr. Tench went sweating by, past the Treasury10 which had once been a church, towards the quay11. Half-way across he suddenly forgot what he had come out for—a glass of mineral water? That was all there was to drink in this prohibition13 state—except beer, but that was a government monopoly and too expensive except on special occasions. An awful feeling of nausea14 gripped Mr. Tench in the stomach—it couldn't have been mineral water he wanted. Of course, his ether cylinder ... the boat was in. He had heard its exultant15 piping when he lay on his bed after lunch. He passed the barbers' and two dentists' and came out between a warehouse16 and the customs onto the river bank.
   The river went heavily by towards the sea between the banana plantations18: the General Obregon was tied up to the bank, and beer was being unloaded—a hundred cases were already stacked upon the quay. Mr. Tench stood in the shade of [4] the customs house and thought: What am I here for? Memory drained out of him in the heat. He gathered his bile together and spat19 forlornly into the sun. Then he sat down on a case and waited. Nothing to do. Nobody would come to see him before five.
   The General Obregon was about thirty yards long. A few feet of damaged rail, one lifeboat, a bell hanging on a rotten cord, an oil-lamp in the bow, she looked as if she might weather two or three more Atlantic years—if she didn't strike a norther in the gulf20. That, of course, would be the end of her. It didn't really matter: everybody was insured when he bought a ticket automatically. Half a dozen passengers leant on the rail, among the hobbled turkeys, and stared at the port: the warehouse, the empty baked street with the dentists' and the barbers'.
   Mr. Tench heard a revolver-holster creak just behind him and turned his head. A customs officer was watching him angrily. He said something which Mr. Tench could not catch. "Pardon me," Mr. Tench said.
   "My teeth," the customs man said indistinctly.
   "Oh," Mr. Tench said, "yes, your teeth." The man had none: that was why he couldn't talk clearly: Mr. Tench had removed them all. He was shaken with nausea—something was wrong—worms, dysentery ... He said: "The set is nearly finished. Tonight," he promised wildly. It was, of course, quite impossible; but that was how one lived, putting off everything. The man was satisfied: he might forget, and in any case what could he do? He had paid in advance. That was the whole world to Mr. Tench: the heat and the forgetting, the putting off till tomorrow, if possible cash down—for what? He stared out over the slow river: the fin6 of a shark moved like a periscope21 at the mouth. In the course of years several ships had stranded22 and they now helped to prop23 up the riverside, the smoke-stacks leaning over like guns pointing at some distant objective across the banana-trees and the swamps.
   Mr. Tench thought: Ether cylinder: I nearly forgot. His mouth fell open and he began moodily24 to count the bottles of Cerveza Moctezuma. A hundred and forty cases. Twelve times a hundred and forty: the heavy phlegm gathered in his mouth: twelve fours are forty-eight. He said aloud in English: "My [5] God, a pretty one": twelve hundred, sixteen hundred and eighty: he spat, staring with vague interest at a girl in the bows of the General Obregon—a fine thin figure, they were generally so thick, brown eyes, of course, and the inevitable25 gleam of the gold tooth, but something fresh and young ... Sixteen hundred and eighty bottles at a peso a bottle.
   Somebody asked in English: "What did you say?"
   Mr. Tench swivelled round. "You English?" he said in astonishment26, but at the sight of the round and hollow face charred27 with a three days' beard, he altered his question: "You speak English?"
   Yes, the man said, he spoke28 English. He stood stiffly in the shade, a small man dressed in a shabby dark city suit, carrying a small attaché case. He had a novel under his arm: bits of an amorous29 scene stuck out, crudely coloured. He said: "Excuse me. I thought just now you were talking to me." He had protuberant30 eyes: he gave an impression of unstable31 hilarity32, as if perhaps he had been celebrating a birthday ... alone.
   Mr. Tench cleared his mouth of phlegm. "What did I say?" He couldn't remember a thing.
   "You said: 'My God, a pretty one.' "
   "Now what could I have meant by that?" He stared up at the merciless sky. A buzzard stood there like an observer. "What? Oh, just the girl, I suppose. You don't often see a pretty piece round here. Just one or two a year worth looking at."
   "She is very young."
   "Oh, I don't have intentions," Mr. Tench said wearily. "A man may look. I've lived alone for fifteen years."
   "Here?"
   "Hereabouts."
   They fell silent and time passed, the shadow of the customs house shifted a few inches farther towards the river: the buzzard moved a little, like the black hand of a dock.
   "You came in her?" Mr. Tench said.
   "No."
   "Going in her?"
   The little man seemed to evade33 the question, but then as if some explanation were required, "I was just looking," he said.  "I suppose she'll be sailing quite soon?"
   "To Vera Cruz," Mr. Tench said. "In a few hours."
   [6] "Without calling anywhere?"
   "Where could she call?" He asked: "How did you get here?"
   The stranger said vaguely34: "A canoe."
   "Got a plantation17, eh?"
   "No."
   "It's good hearing English spoken," Mr. Tench said. "Now you learnt yours in the States?"
   The man agreed. He wasn't very garrulous35.
   "Ah, what wouldn't I give," Mr. Tench said, "to be there now." He said in a low anxious voice: "You don't happen, do you, to have a drink in that case of yours? Some of you people back there—I've known one or two—a little for medical purposes."
   "Only medicine," the man said.
   "You a doctor?"
   The bloodshot eyes looked slyly out of their corners at Mr. Tench. "You would call me perhaps a—quack?"
   "Patent medicines? Live and let live," Mr. Tench said.
   "Are you sailing?"
   "No, I came down here for—for ... oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway." He put his hand on his stomach and said: "You haven't got any medicine, have you, for—oh, hell. I don't know what. It's just this bloody36 land. You can't cure me of that. No one can."
   "You want to go home?"
   "Home," Mr. Tench said; "my home's here. Did you see what the peso stands at in Mexico City? Four to the dollar. Four. Oh, God. Ora pro12 nobis."
   "Are you a Catholic?"
   "No, no. Just an expression. I don't believe in anything like that." He said irrelevantly37: "It's too hot anyway."
   "I think I must find somewhere to sit."
   "Come up to my place," Mr. Tench said. "I've got a spare hammock. The boat won't leave for hours—if you want to watch it go."
   The stranger said: "I was expecting to see someone. The name was Lopez."
   "Oh, they shot him weeks ago," Mr. Tench said.
   "Dead?"
   [7] "You know how it is round here. Friend of yours?"
   "No, no," the man protested hurriedly. "Just a friend of a friend."
   "Well, that's how it is," Mr. Tench said. He brought up his bile again and shot it out into the hard sunlight. "They say he used to help ... oh, undesirables38 ... well, to get out. His girl's living with the Chief of Police now."
   "His girl? Do you mean his daughter?"
   "He wasn't married. I mean the girl he lived with." Mr. Tench was momentarily surprised by an expression on the stranger's face. He said again: "You know how it is." He looked across at the General Obregon. "She's a pretty bit. Of course, in two years she'll be like all the rest. Fat and stupid.  Oh, God, I'd like a drink. Ora pro nobis."
   "I have a little brandy," the stranger said. Mr. Tench regarded him sharply. "Where?"
   The hollow man put his hand to his hip—he might have been indicating the source of his odd nervous hilarity. Mr. Tench seized his wrist. "Careful," he said. "Not here." He looked down the carpet of shadow: a sentry39 sat on an empty crate40 asleep beside his rifle. "Come to my place," Mr. Tench said.
   "I meant," the little man said reluctantly, "just to see her go."
   "Oh, it will be hours yet," Mr. Tench assured him again.
   "Hours? Are you certain? It's very hot in the sun."
   "You'd better come home."
   Home: it was a phrase one used to mean four walls behind which one slept. There had never been a home. They moved across the little burnt plaza where the dead general grew green in the damp and the gaseosa stalls stood under the palms. It lay like a picture postcard on a pile of other postcards: shuffle41 the pack and you had Nottingham, a Metroland birthplace, an interlude in Southend. Mr. Tench's father had been a dentist too—his first memory was finding a discarded cast in a waste-paper basket—the rough toothless gaping42 mouth of clay, like something dug up in Dorset—Neanderthal or Pithecanthropus. It had been his favourite toy: they tried to tempt43 him with Meccano: but fate had struck. There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. The hot wet [8] riverport and the vultures lay in the waste-paper basket, and he picked them out. We should be thankful we cannot see the horrors and degradations44 lying around our childhood, in cupboards and bookshelves, everywhere.
   There was no paving: during the rains the village (it was really no more) slipped into the mud. Now the ground was hard under the feet like stone. The two men walked in silence past barbers' shops and dentists': the buzzards on the roofs looked contented45, like domestic fowls46: they searched under wide crude dusty wings for parasites47. Mr. Tench said: "Excuse me," stopping at a little wooden hut, one story high, with a veranda48 where a hammock swung. The hut was a little larger than the others in the narrow street, which petered out two hundred yards away in swamp. He said, nervously49: "Would you like to take a look around? I don't want to boast, but I'm the best dentist here. It's not a bad place. As places go." Pride wavered in his voice like a plant with shallow roots.
   He led the way inside, locking the door behind him, through a dining-room where two rocking-chairs stood on either side of a bare table: an oil-lamp, some copies of old American papers, a cupboard. He said: "I'll get the glasses out, but first I'd like to show you—you're an educated man ..." The dentist's operating-room looked out on a yard where a few turkeys moved with shabby nervous pomp: a drill which worked with a pedal, a dentist's chair gaudy50 in bright red plush, a glass cupboard in which instruments were dustily jumbled51. A forceps stood in a cup, a broken spirit—lamp was pushed into a corner, and gags of cotton-wool lay on all the shelves.
   "Very fine," the stranger said.
   "It's not so bad, is it," Mr. Tench said, "for this town? You can't imagine the difficulties. That drill," he said bitterly, "is made in Japan. I've only had it a month and it's wearing out already. But I can't afford American drills."
   "The window," the stranger said, "is very beautiful."
   One pane52 of stained glass had been let in: a Madonna gazed out through the mosquito wire at the turkeys in the yard. "I got it," Mr. Tench said, "when they sacked the church. It didn't feel right—a dentist's room without some stained glass. Not civilized53. At home—I mean in England—it was [9] generally the laughing Cavalier—I don't know why—or else a Tudor rose. But one can't pick and choose."
   He opened another door and said: "My workroom." The first thing you saw was a bed under a mosquito tent. Mr. Tench said: "You understand—I'm pressed for room." A ewer54 and basin stood at one end of a carpenter's bench, and a soap-dish: at the other a blow-pipe, a tray of sand, pliers, a little furnace. "I cast in sand," Mr. Tench said. "What else can I do in this place?" He picked up the cast of a lower jaw55. "You can't always get them accurate," he said. "Of course, they complain." He laid it down again, and nodded at another object on the bench—something stringy and intestinal56 in appearance, with two little bladders of rubber. "Congenital fissure," he said. "It's the first time I've tried. The Kingsley case. I doubt if I can do it. But a man must try to keep abreast57 of things." His mouth fell open: the look of vacancy58 returned: the heat in the small room was overpowering. He stood there like a man lost in a cavern59 among the fossils and instruments of an age of which he knows very little. The stranger said: "If we could sit down ..."
   Mr. Tench stared at him—blankly. "We could open the brandy."
   "Oh, yes, the brandy."
   Mr. Tench got two glasses out of a cupboard under the bench, and wiped off traces of sand. Then they went and sat in rocking-chairs in the front room. Mr. Tench poured out.
   "Water?" the stranger said.
   "You can't trust the water," Mr. Tench said. "It's got me here." He put his hand on his stomach and took a long draught60 "You don't look too well yourself," he said. He took a longer look. "Your teeth." One canine61 had gone, and the front teeth were yellow with tartar and carious. He said: "You want to pay attention to them."
   "What is the good?" the stranger said. He held a small spot of brandy in his glass warily—as if it were an animal to which he gave shelter, but not trust. He had the air in his hollowness and neglect of somebody of no account who had been beaten up incidentally, by ill-health or restlessness. He sat on the very edge of the rocking-chair, with his small attaché [10] case balanced on his knee and the brandy staved off with guilty affection.
   "Drink up," Mr. Tench encouraged him (it wasn't his brandy) ; "it will do you good." The man's dark suit and sloping shoulders reminded him uncomfortably of a coffin62: and death was in his carious mouth already. Mr. Tench poured himself out another glass. He said: "It gets lonely here. It's good to talk English, even to a foreigner. I wonder if you'd like to see a picture of my kids." He drew a yellow snapshot out of his notecase and handed it over. Two small children struggled over the handle of a watering-can in a back garden. "Of course," he said, "that was sixteen years ago."
   "They are young men now."
   "One died."
   "Oh, well," the other said gently, "in a Christian63 country." He took a gulp64 of his brandy and smiled at Mr. Tench rather foolishly.
   "Yes, I suppose so," Mr. Tench said with surprise. He got rid of his phlegm and said: "It doesn't seem to me, of course, to matter much." He fell silent, his thoughts ambling65 away; his mouth fell open, he looked grey and vacant, until he was recalled by a pain in the stomach and helped himself to some more brandy. "Let me see. What was it we were talking about? The kids ... oh, yes, the kids. It's funny what a man remembers. You know, I can remember that watering-can better than I can remember the kids. It cost three and elevenpence three farthings, green; I could lead you to the shop where I bought it. But as for the kids"—he brooded over his glass into the past—I can't remember much else but them crying."
   "Do you get news?"
   "Oh, I gave up writing before I came here. What was the use? I couldn't send any money. It wouldn't surprise me if the wife had married again. Her mother would like it—the old sour bitch: she never cared for me."
   The stranger said in a low voice: "It is awful."
   Mr. Tench examined his companion again with surprise. He sat there like a black question mark, ready to go, ready to stay, poised66 on his chair. He looked disreputable in his grey three days' beard, and weak: somebody you could command to do anything. He said: "I mean the world. The way things happen."
   [11] "You drink up your brandy."
   He sipped67 at it. It was like an indulgence. He said: "You remember this place before—before the Red Shirts came?"
   "I suppose I do."
   "How happy it was then."
   "Was it? I didn't notice."
   "They had at any rate—God."
   "There's no difference in the teeth," Mr. Tench said. He gave himself some more of the stranger's brandy. "It was always an awful place. Lonely. My God. People at home would have said romance. I thought: five years here, and then I'll go. There was plenty of work. Gold teeth. But then the peso dropped. And now I can't get out. One day I will." He said: "I'll retire. Go home. Live as a gentleman ought to live. This" he gestured at the bare base room—"I'll forget all this. Oh, it won't be long now. I'm an optimist," Mr. Tench said.
   The stranger said suddenly: "How long will she take to Vera Cruz?"
   "Who?"
   "The boat."
   Mr. Tench said gloomily: "Forty hours from now and we'd be there. The Diligencia. A good hotel. Dance places too. A gay town."
   "It makes it seem close," the stranger said. "And a ticket, how much would that be?"
   "You'd have to ask Lopez," Mr. Tench said. "He's the agent."
   "But Lopez ..."
   "Oh, yes, I forgot. They shot him."
   Somebody knocked on the door. The stranger slipped the attaché case under his chair, and Mr. Tench went cautiously up towards the window. "Can't be too careful," he said. "Any dentist who's worth the name has enemies."
   A faint voice implored68 them: "A friend," and Mr. Tench opened up. Immediately the sun came in like a white—hot bar.
   A child stood in the doorway69 asking for a doctor. He wore a big hat and had stupid brown eyes. Beyond him two mules70 stamped and whistled on the hot beaten road. Mr. Tench said he was not a doctor: he was a dentist. Looking round he saw the stranger crouched72 in the rocking-chair, gazing with an effect of prayer, entreaty73. ... The child said there was a new doctor [12] in town: the old one had fever and wouldn't stir. It was his mother who was sick.
   A vague memory stirred in Mr. Tench's brain. He said with an air of discovery: "Why, you're a doctor, aren't you?"
   "No, no. I've got to catch that boat."
   "I thought you said ..."
   "I've changed my mind."
   "Oh, well, it won't leave for hours yet," Mr. Tench said. "They're never on time." He asked the child how far. The child said it was six leagues away.
   "Too far," Mr. Tench said. "Go away. Find someone else." He said to the stranger: "How things get around. Everyone must know you are in town."
   "I could do no good," the stranger said anxiously: he seemed to be asking Mr. Tench's opinion, humbly74.
   "Go away," Mr. Tench said. The child did not stir. He stood in the hard sunlight looking in with infinite patience. He said his mother was dying. The brown eyes expressed no emotion: it was a fact. You were born, your parents died, you grew old, you died yourself.
   "If she's dying," Mr. Tench said, "there's no point in a doctor seeing her."
   But the stranger had got up: unwillingly75 he had been summoned to an occasion he couldn't pass by. He said sadly: "It always seems to happen. Like this."
   "You'll have a job not to miss the boat."
   "I shall miss it," he said. "I am meant to miss it." He was shaken by a tiny rage. "Give me my brandy." He took a long pull at it, with his eyes on the impassive child, the baked street, the buzzards moving in the sky like indigestion spots.
   "But if she's dying ..." Mr. Tench said.
   "I know these people. She will be no more dying than I am."
   "You can do no good."
   The child watched them as if he didn't care. The argument in a foreign language going on in there was something abstract: he wasn't concerned. He would just wait here till the doctor came.
   "You know nothing," the stranger said fiercely. "That is what everyone all the time says—you do no good." The brandy [13] had affected77 him. He said with monstrous78 bitterness: "I can hear them saying it all over the world."
   "Anyway," Mr. Tench said, "there'll be another boat. In a fortnight. Or three weeks. You are lucky. You can get out. You haven't got your capital here." He thought of his capital: the Japanese drill, the dentist's chair, the spirit-lamp and the pliers and the little oven for the gold fillings: a stake in the country.
   "Vamos," the man said to the child. He turned back to Mr. Tench and told him that he was grateful for the rest out of the sun. He had the kind of dwarfed79 dignity Mr. Tench was accustomed to—the dignity of people afraid of a little pain and yet sitting down with some firmness in his chair. Perhaps he didn't care for mule71 travel. He said with an effect of old-fashioned ways: "I will pray for you."
   "You were welcome," Mr. Tench said. The man got up onto the mule, and the child led the way, very slowly under the bright glare, towards the swamp, the interior. It was from there the man had emerged this morning to take a look at the General Obregon: now he was going back. He swayed very slightly in his saddle from the effect of the brandy. He became a minute disappointed figure at the end of the street.
   It had been good to talk to a stranger, Mr. Tench thought, going back into his room, locking the door behind him (one never knew). Loneliness faced him there, vacancy. But he was as accustomed to both as to his own face in the glass. He sat down in the rocking-chair and moved up and down, creating a faint breeze in the heavy air. A narrow column of ants moved across the room to the little patch on the floor where the stranger had spilt some brandy: they milled in it, then moved on in an orderly line to the opposite wall and disappeared. Down in the river the General Obregon whistled twice, he didn't know why.
   The stranger had left his book behind. It lay under his rocking-chair: a woman in Edwardian dress crouched sobbing81 upon a rug embracing a man's brown polished pointed80 shoes. He stood above her disdainfully with a little waxed moustache. The book was called La Eterna Martyr82. After a time Mr. Tench picked it up. When he opened it he was taken aback—what was printed inside didn't seem to belong; it was Latin. Mr. [14] Tench grew thoughtful: he picked the book up and carried it into his workroom. You couldn't burn a book, but it might be as well to hide it if you were not sure——sure, that is, of what it was all about. He put it inside the little oven for gold alloy83. Then he stood by the carpenter's bench, his mouth hanging open: he had remembered what had taken him to the quay—the ether cylinder which should have come down-river in the General Obregon. Again the whistle blew from the river, and Mr. Tench ran without his hat into the sun. He had said the boat would not go before morning, but you could never trust those people not to keep to time-table, and sure enough, when he came out onto the bank between the customs and the warehouse, the General Obregon was already ten feet off in the sluggish84 river, making for the sea. He bellowed85 after it, but it wasn't any good: there was no sign of a cylinder anywhere on the quay. He shouted once again, and then didn't trouble any more. It didn't matter so much after all: a little additional pain was hardly noticeable in the huge abandonment.
   On the General Obregon a faint breeze began to blow: banana plantations on either side, a few wireless86 aerials on a point, the port slipped behind. When you looked back you could not have told that it had ever existed at all. The wide Atlantic opened up: the great grey cylindrical87 waves lifted the bows, and the hobbled turkeys shifted on the deck. The captain stood in the tiny deck—house with a toothpick in his hair. The land went backward at a slow even roll, and the dark came quite suddenly, with a sky of low and brilliant stars. One oil-lamp was lit in the bows, and the girl whom Mr. Tench had spotted88 from the bank began to sing gently—a melancholy89, sentimental90, and contented song about a rose which had been stained with true love's blood. There was an enormous sense of freedom and air upon the gulf, with the low tropical shore-line buried in darkness as deeply as any mummy in a tomb. I am happy, the young girl said to herself without considering why, I am happy.
   Far back inside the darkness the mules plodded91 on. The effect of the brandy had long ago worn off, and the man bore in his brain along the marshy92 tract—which, when the rains came, would be quite impassable—the sound of the General Obregon's siren. He knew what it meant: the ship had kept [15] to time-table: he was abandoned. He felt an unwilling76 hatred93 of the child ahead of him and the sick woman—he was unworthy of what he carried. A smell of damp came up all round him; it was as if this part of the world had never been dried in the flame when the world was sent spinning off into space: it had absorbed only the mist and cloud of those awful spaces. He began to pray, bouncing up and down to the lurching, slithering mules stride, with his brandied tongue: "Let me be caught soon ... Let me be caught." He had tried to escape, but he was like the King of a West African tribe, the slave of his people, who may not even lie down in case the winds should fail.
