Chapter Three Summary

In Chapter 3, Marina lands in Manaus to find her luggage has been lost. She is greeted by Milton, a driver hired by Vogel, who also drives Dr. Swenson when she is in town. Milton is influential, and within minutes has bribed the luggage clerk to watch for her luggage, and has her in a store run by his brother in law where she can pick up supplies. While in the store, she learns that Dr. Swenson shops there, as well, or one of her other doctors comes in for supplies. Marina wonders who the other doctors are as she learns that the Bovenders, a young bohemian couple, watches Dr. Swenson's apartment in the city while she is away in the jungle, sometimes for months. She is dropped off at her hotel, where she calls Mr. Fox and quickly falls asleep.
