My search for more information on the mysterious man who talked with Mr. Tench led me to a banana plantation of all places. Coincidentally, the plantation is owned by an American family living in Mexico, a similar situation to Mr. Tench. The owner is Captain Fellow, whose wife and daughter help him with the plantation. It was from the Captain and his daughter that I was able to learn more about the "doctor" who had talked with Mr. Tench.
According to both father and daughter, the man was not a doctor at all! He was a priest on the run from the government. This explains the Latin in the book he left behind at the dentist's place, which I believe could have been related to his duties as a priest. After her father was out of hearing range, Coral told me she had informed the priest he was welcomed back to the plantation if he ever returned. It was touching to see her kindness towards the man, even if it could lead to dangerous consequences later on. To drop the story of the priest on the run now would be a waste, I will continue on and see what more I'm able to discover.
I really like the titles of your posts. They're intriguing and draw my interest. :) You take on the role of a journalist very well, and I see elements of surprise within your writing which is neat. I don't understand the last sentence, though. Why would dropping the story of the priest be a waste?
ReplyDeleteNicely done, miss. :)
