Laupepa had fallen in ill-blood with one of them; his only idea of defence had been to throw himself in the arms of another; his name, his rank, and his great following had not been able to preserve him; and he had vanished from the eyes of men as the Samoan thinks of it, beyond the sky. Asi, Maunga, Tuiletu-funga, had followed him in that new path of doom. And now it was the rival's turn.
DON EDUARDO. No me parece que es eso.... DOÑA MATILDE. Entonces echaré primero el agua.... DON EDUARDO. Tampoco. DOÑA MATILDE. Pues no hay más que echar las dos cosas a un tiempo. DON EDUARDO.

And from out all their mouths, vaguely stammered in every language, came the dismal utterances of the catacombs. "Ainsi soit-il!" "Mea culpa!" "Asi sea!" "Aro raï!" "Amen!"

DON EDUARDO. ¿No ve usted que así se pierde toda esperanza y toma uno al cabo su partido? BRUNO. Cuando hay partido que tomar, no digo que no. DON EDUARDO. Ahora quisiera yo que usted, mi querido Bruno.... DON EDUARDO. Me concediera una gracia que le voy a pedir y que será probablemente la última que le pediré en mi vida. BRUNO.
