-Shall we dance? -This party is just starting. For certain. What did you think of this place? Everyone says that the General is an excellent dancer. At least that's what the women say. You dance with a special grace. Any other night l would take that compliment with pleasure. But not tonight. You need me. You need me because l am familiar with the truth. l know the truth. And just what is that truth you know and l don't? None of your generals share your dream of a united South America. Except Sucre. What the others want is to govern their own provinces, and they will do whatever is in their power to sabotage that union. And how is it that you know these things? Because l'm all ears. Men love to have me around, but they forget l'm here. And how can such a beautiful woman go unnoticed? That's precisely what makes me invisible.
