"Not very far," was the answer.  "But it will take us until close upon sunset to do the distance, because Mateo prefers that we should not start until the rest of the band are on the move.  He fears that if you were seen going toward the sea, instead of up into the mountains, some of our `lambs' might begin to ask awkward questions, and insist upon your accompanying them.  Therefore, if you feel at all tired, you had better avail yourself of the present opportunity to snatch a little sleep."
