"Better and better, Don Benito," he said as he entered the cabin, "your troubles will soon be over." The American invited the Spanish captain to come aboard his boat for a cup of coffee.
Cereno's eyes brightened. But then the light in them died. He shook his head and said he could not accept the invitation. Captain Delano was offended. He was about to withdraw when Don Benito rose from his chair and took Delano's hand. The Spaniard's hand shook. And he was too excited to speak. Delano pulled his hand away and turned, climbing back to the deck. His face was troubled.
Captain Delano could not understand Don Benito's actions. One minute the Spaniard was warm and polite. Then, just as quickly, cold and hostile. Captain Delano asked himself: Why did he refuse to join me? Why is he so unfriendly?
Captain Delano got to the deck and was about to step down into his boat when he heard his name. To his surprise, Don Benito was calling, coming quickly toward him.
Captain Delano was pleased and turned back to meet him. Don Benito warmly took his hand, with more energy and emotion than he had ever shown. But his excitement seemed too much for him, and he could not speak. Babo then came between the two men and put his arm around Don Benito to support him. Clearly, he wanted to end the meeting between the two captains.
