He may have built the upper part of the cornice, which might belong to the eighteenth century, but the lower part is certainly older. The white marble door leading to the Sala dos Brazões from the upper passage is part of Dom Manoel's work.
The sadoe is the hansom of Java. It is a small two-wheeled carriage, in which the seats are placed back to back (hence the name, which is a corruption of dos-
It often falls out, that being displeased at some action that civility and reason will not permit me openly to reprove, I here disgorge myself, not without design of public instruction: and also these poetical lashes, "Zon zur l'oeil, ion sur le groin, Zon zur le dos du Sagoin," Marot. imprint themselves better upon paper than upon the flesh.
On this terrace stands the main front of the palace. Below are four large pointed arches, and above five beautiful windows lighting the great Sala dos Cysnes or Swan Hall.
At this place Diaz erected a stone cross in memory of his discovery; and, owing to heavy tempests, which he experienced off the high table land of the Cape, he named it Cabo dos Tormentos, or Cape of storms; but the satisfaction which King John derived from this memorable discovery, on the return of Diaz to Portugal in 1487, and the hope which it imparted of having opened a sure passage by sea from Europe through the Atlantic into the Indian ocean, by which his subjects would now reap the abundant harvest of all their long and arduous labours, induced that sovereign to change this inauspicious appellation for one of a more happy omen, and he accordingly ordered that it should in future be called, Cabo de boa Esperança, or Cape of Good Hope, which it has ever since retained.
Insistís en que la mujer, según el plan divino, es para el hogar y el hombre para la sociedad y en eso consiste la verdadera división del trabajo entre las dos mitades del género humano. ¿Me quereis decir por qué, si eso fuera el plan de Dios, todas las religiones y todas las escuelas de moral coinciden en prescribir el deber al prójimo, el amor a los semejantes? ¿Se ha dirigido el Señor sólo al hombre y no a la mujer también cuando entre temblores de tierra y llamas resplandecientes entregó el mundo las tablas del Decálogo y dijo: "Ama a tu prójimo como a tí mismo"? ¿Se refiere al hombre y no a la mujer inclusive aquel precepto universal, contenido de toda moral y de toda religión, que dice: "Haz a tu prójimo lo que quieras que hagan contigo"? Estos preceptos me indican que el hombre y la mujer tienen deberes para con los demás, tienen deberes para con sus semejantes y que no deben concentrar su felicidad en el hogar sino también, fuera de él, en la sociedad. ¿Me quereis decir si el hogar puede ser feliz entretanto que la sociedad no lo sea, puesto que la sociedad es nada más que la ampliación y la suma de todos los hogares, y todas las miserias y males de la sociedad repercuten en el hogar de la misma manera que la felicidad y el bienestar del hogar influyen en el bienestar y felicidad de la sociedad?

So, well wrapped up in our big coats, against the chill of four o'clock, we went to the little square in front of the church, from which they were to start, and where the long line of grey cannon, grey ammunition, camions, grey commissary wagons were ready, and the men, sac au dos, already climbing into place one mounted on each team of four horses, three on each gun-carriage, facing the horses, with three behind, with their backs to the team.
This terrace is now bounded on the west by the Cloister dos Filippes, on the south by a high wall and by the chapter-house, begun by Dom Manoel but never finished, and on the north by the round church and by one bay of the Coro; and in this bay is now the chief entrance to the church.
Thomas will find it convenient to stop at the ranch," he murmured pleasantly, "but don't let me interfere with your business." "Well, I guess that's all to-night, Shep," remarked Swope, taking charge of the situation. "I jest wanted you to meet Hardy while you was together. This is the Mr. Hardy, of the Dos S outfit, you understand," he continued, "and a white cowman!
