In The Long Goodbye, Chndler wrote of an American, who had lived for some years in Britain but was now living, disguised, as a Mexican:

"He spoke perfect English but with a Spanish rhythm. Spanish--American Spanish, that is---has a definite rise and fall which to an American ear
seems to have nothing to do with the meaning. It's like the swell of the ocean."--Chap 52

We know TRP knows/speaks Spanish.
