Twice he strove to tell her and twice he failed the words would not come. "Go on. Why do you torment me?" "It was this, Juanna: that Francisco should be dressed in the robe of Aca, and offered up with Otter in your place, while you were hidden away." "Has it been done?" she whispered. "I believe so," Leonard replied, bowing his head to his breast.
But that did not prevent Captain Armytage's being a very agreeable and well-informed companion nevertheless. 'Granted that "Canada" is a pretty name, said he; 'but it's Spanish more than native. "Aca nada," nothing here, said the old Castilian voyagers, when they saw no trace of gold mines or other wealth along the coast. That's the story, at all events.
You shall swear by the blood of Aca that you will do nothing against the life of that Queen with whom I journeyed hither. For the others, you may work your will upon them, but her you shall not harm." "Why should I swear this, daughter?" he asked. "You shall swear it because I, whom you love, love her, and also because so you shall gain the greater honour."
But there is a prophecy among my people which tells, when many generations have gone by, that Aca the mother, and Jal the son, shall return to the land which once they ruled, clothed in the flesh of men.
Trahe eneste nauio de auiso q es venido agora aca, gegibre, canela, oro en poluo, vna arroua de conchas riquissimas de oro, y blancas, joyas de oro, cera, y otras cosas para dar muestra delo que en aquella tierra ay, y muchas bugerias, y otras cosas muy galanas. Y aunque no las traxeran, harto trahian en hauer descubierto y hallado la nauegacion por aquestas partes, que es cosa de mucha calidad.
We have been chosen judges of this matter, and now, having consulted together, we will give judgment, and you shall be bound by it. As to whether these strangers who are named Aca and Jal are true gods or false, we say no word. But if they are false gods, then surely Nam is guilty with them." Here a shout of assent burst from the audience, and Leonard watching the high priest saw him tremble.
As you must know, or will know when you come to your right mind, I would gladly have taken Francisco's place. But it was impossible, for had I attempted to dress myself up in the robe of Aca, I should instantly have been discovered, and you would have paid the price of my folly. We all knew this, and after we had consulted, things were arranged as I have told you.
"For this reason, father; he loves her who is named Aca, and trusts to marry her, to marry her fully according to the custom of his people: therefore I would that he should see her given to another." "To another! To whom then?" "To Olfan the king, who also loves her." Now Nam held up his hands in perplexity, saying: "Oh! my daughter, be plain, I pray of you, for I cannot understand your counsels.
"I've been in a drought ever since morning. Hi muchacho! el aguardiente por aca." "Now, what do you want to see me about?" asked Goodwin, when the drinks were before them. "Confound it, old man," drawled Blythe, "why do you spoil a golden moment like this with business? I wanted to see you well, this has the preference." He gulped down his brandy, and gazed longingly into the empty glass.
Hearken, Children of the Snake, these are the names by which we were known in the beginning: Aca is my name, the Mother of the Snake. Jal is he named, who is the Snake. Say, do ye know us now?" As these words rang on her lips a groan of terror burst from every man who heard them.
