Zorilla has been said to be Becquer's most immediate precursor, in that he possesses the same instinct for the mysterious.

Quick as lightning Don Zorilla held out his hand over the table, opened it, and closed it again.

Zorilla lifted his hand and the great Brazilian diamonds in his rings shot out baleful fires.

But, just as they were moving off towards the lift dome, Zorilla turned back and held out a card to Don Mendoza.

The body of Zorilla has been brought up to the City and placed with that of Mulligan and my own servant.
