...audience, however, never comes. A sympathetic translator takes the party on tours of the island. Sterling, feeling slighted, takes his anger out on Rubbo, accuses him of shooting too much film. Smallwood, ever optimistic, gets invited to a diplomatic reception, where he receives a bear hug and sympathy from Fidel, who cannot spare more attention than that.
