Captain general

I know of her.

She is wife of Don Narciso Crispo, the Spanish nobleman who is captain general of the island south of Zamboanga.

He is in residence here in Manila.

Hmm.

[laughs]

Oh, they have no clue as to who it was.

Got away scot-free, they did, and they almost abducted the captain general of Zamboanga himself.

What?

There were still a few things around that had to be manually operated, and the door closed behind him and the elevator gave him an instant weightlessness as it started to drop forty floors.

When it opened Captain General Dorfley of the Household Guard was waiting for him with a captain and ten privates.

General Dorfli was human.

The captain and his ten soldiers weren't.

They wore helmets emblazoned with the golden sun and superimposed black cog-wheel of the Empire, and red kilts and black ankle-boots and weapons-belts, and the captain had a narrow gold-laced cape over his shoulders, but for the rest their bodies were covered with a stiff mat of black hair, and their faces were slightly like terriers.

for all his humanity captain general dorfli's face was more like a bulldog's they were hill men from the southern hemisphere of thor and as a people they made excellent mercenaries They were crack shots, brave and crafty fighters, totally uninterested in politics off their own planet, and because they had grown up in a patriarchal clan society they were fanatically loyal to anybody whom they accepted as their chieftain.

Paul stepped out and gave them an inclusive nod.

"'Good morning, gentlemen.' "'Good morning, Your Imperial Majesty,' General Dorfley said, bowing the couple of inches consistent with military dignity.

He became vice-president of the parliament and fought for reforms.

His work helped open additional Puerto Rican ports to commerce, reduce restrictions, challenge extraordinary gubernatorial authority, separate financial administration from the Captain General, and advance local economic and institutional development.

So Puerto Rico had a resident of the island representing it in Spain's national legislative process.

Yes.
