Excerpts:

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.
