Just then Jose returned. "What is inside that door?" asked the chief alguazil abruptly. "Nothing that I know of but an empty cupboard," he answered quietly. "The room is little used, so that I never saw it opened." "Bring the key, and let us see," said the alguazil. "I have not the key; and if there is one, my master must have it, and I cannot disturb him for such a fancy," replied Jose.
Your Waterloo, and battles of the Nile and Baltic, what are they, in sober fact, but gladiatorial murder-games on a great scale, human imitations of bull-fights, at which Satan sits as grand alguazil and master of ceremonies?
The people from Tortuga landed from their canoe; but the cacique stood up and threatened them, on which they reimbarked and pushed off from the shore. To shew his displeasure, the cacique threw stones and water after them, and gave a stone to the alguazil belonging to the admiral, making signs for him to throw it at the Tortugans, but he smiled and would not throw.
Martin Pinzon would be captain of the Pinta and Vicente of the Nina. And there were Roderigo Sanchez of Segovia, Inspector-General of Armament, and Diego de Arana, chief alguazil of the expedition, and Roderigo de Escobedo, royal notary, and with these three or four young men of birth, adventuring for India now that the war with the Moor was done.
The alguazil took him out of their hands, delivered him and his ass into those of his followers, had the wounded man laid like a sack upon his own ass, and marched them all off to prison attended by such a crowd that they could hardly make way through the streets.
At these words all resumed their self-possession, for they had been considerably alarmed; and Monipodio went forth to the door of his house, where he found the Alguazil, with whom he remained some minutes in conversation, and then returned to the company. "Who was on guard to-day," he asked, "in the market of San Salvador?"
All the brotherhood with one voice approved the spirit and gentlemanly proceeding of the two new comers, as well as the judgment and decision of their superior, who went out to restore the purse to the Alguazil.
The young girls place at the feet of the missionary faggots of wood, bunches of plantains, and other provision of which he stands in need for his household. At the same time the governador, the alguazil, and other municipal officers, all of whom are Indians, exhort the natives to labour, proclaim the occupations of the ensuing week, reprimand the idle, and flog the untractable.
Say rather from the rascality of your master. Berg. Nay but listen, for worse remains to be told, since I am loth to speak ill of alguazil and attorneys. Scip. Ay, but speaking ill of one is not speaking ill of all. There is many and many an attorney who is honest and upright.
After half an hour, an alguazil and the directorcillo arrived with two cuadrilleros, who took the body down and placed it on a stretcher. "People are getting in a hurry to die," remarked the directorcillo with a smile, as he took a pen from behind his ear.
