        Zhang says that the straight imposed lines on the earth by the
Jesuits are conduits for some kind of energy.

        Mr. Everybeet, the crystal ball reader, feels the need to
interject about the caverns to the west that contain spheres of lead
ore.

vw#117: Plumbaginous - Resembling plumbago; consisting of, or
containing, plumbago (graphite); as, a plumbaginous slate.

        Everybeet says there is plenty of lead in America and it didn't
have to be transported from England for the nefarious purposes of the
Jesuits. Everybeet attends secret nocturnal ore diggings. Indians mined
it and converted the ore to metal and fashioned crude toys and sold them
during these late night sessions. The sulphur fumes of the smelting and
the dust gave some Indians illnesses such as chronic melancholy.

        Everybeet remarks on the importance of lead, as ammunition and
for other uses not yet invented.

        Wicks is determined to feed Zhang's paranoia by dressing like
the Wolf of Jesus, using Spanish phrases and by growing a goatee.

        Mason and Dixon thing Zhang is insane but are still worried
about the possibility that Fr Zarpazo will really show up. They agree
that they need to get Zhang to leave the camp.  Mason says that Dixon
should talk to Zhang since Zhang already believes Dixon to be  a Jesuit
agent.

        Zhang says that no one will know Zarpazo when he arrives due his
mastery of disguise. He could even be disguised as Zhang.
