This chapter sets the stage for the exceptionally significant
content of Chapter 13.
Jordan, Maria, and Pilar have secured the aid of El Sordo,
although he doesn\'t seem overly enthusiastic about giving it. On their
way back, Pilar stops to rest and reveals her affection for Maria,
even to the point of admitting that she herself is somewhat jealous of
Jordan.
But then she deliberately separates herself from the pair and
heads back to camp so that Jordan and Maria can be alone. Maria
seems extremely anxious for this moment.
