"That bein' the same and I'm willin' to agraa that ye are now strivin' to till the truth let's turn off from the trail, go back so far that there isn't any chance for any one to saa us and slaap till mornin'." Since there was nothing else to do, the boys did as Terry proposed.
"I rached out me hand to shake his own, but he never noticed it, but motioned fur me to stow mesilf into the bottom of the canoe; and thin, after some muttering and throwing of his arms, I could saa he wanted me to howld on to the other canoe." "And I did the same, and the way he towed us over the water would have frightened a steamboat." "He is a smart fellow, indeed."
The Scotchman, who, to all the sagacity of his countrymen, added no small portion of their superstition, leaned greatly to the latter conclusion, and had begun to express this sentiment warily with reverence, when the child of Erin, who appeared not to possess any very definite ideas on the subject interrupted him, by exclaiming: "Faith! there's two of them! a big and a little! sure the bogles of the saa likes good company the same as any other Christians!"
Concluding he was mistaken, he exchanged it for its fellow, which was subjected to an equally severe cross-examination. Still nothing confirmatory of his words could be found. The amazed Irishman now held up both his hands, turning them over and over and pressing them close to his face. "Do yees saa anything?" he abruptly asked, thrusting them toward the boys.
Saa de Miranda, desirous of conferring on his country a classical theatre, produced two erudite comedies, but he was born a pastoral poet, and made himself a dramatist only by imitation. Ferreira belonged to the same school, and the favor bestowed by the court on the dramas of these two poets, was one obstacle to the formation of a national drama.
I reached out yearningly after the heath; I had not seen it for such a long time, how long it did seem! and but in the same breath it was all there again in the smile that lighted up Frands's broad face like a glint of sunlight from a leaden sky. "Joesses, jou," he laughed, "no ka a da saa grou godt." It was the first honest Danish word he had heard since he came to this bewildering land.
After which he went to Bazain, there to speak with the deputy-governor of the Indies, Don Garcia de Saa, whom Don John de Castro had named, upon his death-bed, to supply his place. The Father was desirous to obtain his letters of recommendation to the governor of Malacca, that, in virtue of them, his passage to Japan might be made more easy.
One of his companions, however, Juan de Saa, noticing the hideous pictures upon the walls, was less credulous, and whilst throwing himself upon his knees, said aloud, "If that be a devil, I intend nevertheless to adore only the true God!" A mental reservation which caused amusement to the admiral. Near the gates of the town the crowd was even more closely packed.
However, M. de Saa was a man of worth and talent, and one could excuse this weakness as an incident inseparable from his profession; while most diplomatists only make themselves ridiculous by their assumption of universal knowledge. M. de Saa had been almost as badly treated by the Charpillon as myself, and we might have condoled with one another, but the subject was not mentioned.
About this time M. de Saa surprised me by giving me a letter from my fair Portuguese, which confirmed the sad fate of poor Clairmont. Pauline said she was married to Count Al . I was astonished to hear M. de Saa observe that he had known all about Pauline from the moment she arrived in London. That is the hobby of all diplomatists; they like people to believe that they are omniscient.
