So within twelve years from the time of Vasco da Gama's voyage the foundations of the Portuguese empire in the East had been firmly laid an empire which, however, existed merely as a great trading concern in which Dom Manoel was practically sole partner and so soon became the richest sovereign of his time.
Who told you that he really did have in his hands a document written by the author of the crime? that this paper was the document, and that this document refers to Joam Dacosta?" "Who told me so?" repeated Manoel, and his face was hidden in his hands. In fact, nothing could prove for certain that the document had anything to do with the affair in the diamond province.
By 1518 the church must have been already well advanced, for in January of that year Gregorio Lourenço writes to Dom Manoel saying that 'the wall of the dormitory was shaken and therefore I have sent for "Pere Anes" Pedro Annes had been master builder of the royal palace, now the university at Coimbra, and being older may have had more experience than Marcos Pires, the designer of the monastery who had it shored up, and they say that after the vault of the cloister is finished and the wooden floors in it will be quite safe.
The more ground we can cover before we're come up with by the Agha's camels, who'll be superior to ours, the better it will be, won't it?" "Yes, for if the Agha lets Djazerta alone, Manöel may contrive to slip out of the town sooner than he dared hope, well disguised, in a caravan of strangers not of Ben Râana's tribe.
"Then if I know it, let it be soon and not late!" replied the good-natured fellow. And from this day it began to be whispered about that the charming Lina was engaged to Fragoso, that their marriage would take place at the same time as that of Minha and Manoel, and that the young couple would remain at Belem with the others.
Neither Manoel nor his companions could suspect the horrible combat which was going on beneath them between the formidable puraque and the unhappy diver, who only fought to suffer, without any power of defending himself. And that at the moment when a body the body of Torres without a doubt! had just met his view. By a supreme instinct of self-preservation Benito uttered a cry.
Besides, this was, in a way, the betrothal dinner of Fragoso and the charming Lina that of Manoel and Minha had taken place at the fazenda of Iquitos several weeks before. After the young master and mistress, it was the turn of the faithful couple who were attached to them by so many bonds of gratitude.
And Manöel was sent away, cursed by my father for ingratitude and treachery, warned never to come again near Djazerta or the douar as long as he lived, unless he wished for my death as well as his." "Have you never seen him since?" Sanda asked, her heart beating fast with the rush of the story as Ourïeda had told it. "Yes, he has seen me, and I have seen him.
Madame des Odonais was a woman of great courage, as you will see presently; she never hesitated, and notwithstanding the dangers of such a voyage across the continent, she started." "It was her duty to her husband, Manoel," said Yaquita, "and I would have done the same."
"What causes that?" asked Manoel. "Perhaps some animal that we had better approach with a little circumspection!" And Benito, cocking his gun, motioned them to let him go on a bit, and stepped about ten paces to the front. Manoel, the two girls, and the black remained motionless where they were. Suddenly Benito raised a shout, and they saw him rush toward a tree; they all ran as well.
