| When Dr. Helm catches his breath, he struggles up and starts muttering about going after Camilla--the slave he was tending on the ship told him that Camilla was the name of the captain' escaped wife. He says she's at the Alvarado hacienda, and the Queen says, ahem, gotta run. You can ride back alone, right? | |||

| But Camilla, bless her pale, perky self, has run from the hacienda, straight into Montoya's offer of aid, which is more an imprisonment at the local inn, under the guise of hospitality. | |||

| Robert arrives
at the hacienda only to find Camilla gone and a curious Tessa wanting to
know just what gives with this captain's wife that so interests the doctor.
We were going to be married, Helm replies. |

| This day it seems
that Montoya just has to sit in his office and the whole world comes to
call. After Camilla is sequestered in the hotel, who should arrive but
first, Tessa trying to find out where Camilla has gone and then Capt. Wentworth,
blustering and steaming.
Got your wife, Montoya notes. And? You have two cannon. I have one wife. You do the math, Captain. You can't be serious, Colonel! I never joke....about cannon. |

| On their way over
to the hotel to pick up Camilla, Montoya and Wentworth are stopped by a
none-too-pleased physician and ex-fiance. A tussle ensues much to the Colonel's
delight and surprise. He reluctantly orders the guard to pull Helm off
the captain and apologizes for the doctor's behavior. Shocked, I am shocked,
he berates Helm half-heartedly. The man is a Captain in your own Royal
Navy.
Helm draws up righteously between the two guard who hold him. "But he is no gentleman!" You tell 'em, doc. |
