of many people. Another example is the death of the Colonel's son, Agustin,
Whom after his death has become the embodiment of the underground. It is
rightly so, being that he was the writer of the "clandestine" papers.
"'Agustin wrote.'
The Colonel observed the deserted street.
'What does he say?'
'The same as always.'
They gave him the clandestine sheet of paper" (p.32)

as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I
glanced seaward--and distinguished nothing except a single green light,
minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. (Fitzgerald
