"Ah, well, then, you must watch over him, for he is a good man, doing many friendships, and his father was a buen hombre, too, in the days when we all were rich. So look after him for an old man," he added, and trudged wearily back to the house.
Mexican law well administered is bad enough, not essentially unjust, but hampered with endless quibbles and technicalities, quite justifying the Spanish proverb, "Mas vale una mala composición que un buen pleito," a bad compromise is better than a good lawsuit. As things stand now, the law of any case is the least item in the account, there are so many ways of working upon judges and witnesses.

As soon as we were alone my fair partner told me that her name was Donna Ignazia. My Amours With Donna Ignazia My Imprisonment At Buen Retiro My Triumph I Am Commended to the Venetian Ambassador by One of the State Inquisitors We entered the ball-room and walked round several times. Donna Ignazia was in such a state of ecstasy that I felt her trembling, and augured well for my amorous projects.

Among others taken at the entrenchment, were a Portuguese called Vincent Fonseca, purser of the carak, with two of her cannoneers, one a German, and the other a Hollander; who, refusing to give any account voluntarily of what was asked, were threatened with torture, and then confessed that within fifteen days three other caraks would certainly arrive at the same island, there being five caraks in the fleet at their departure from Goa, the Buen Jesus admiral, Madre de Dios, San Bernardo, San Christophoro, and Santa Cruz, that now on fire.
I remember one summer, when some of the new gardens were being laid out in the Buen Retiro, a grand concert and evening fête was to be given as the opening function. On the evening before this entertainment was to take place we happened to be near, and strolled in to see how the preparations were going on.
And noiseless. Noiseless because heavy, clammy, thick, warm, sickening blood? Well might the land quake for the weight of such a tide! Why did Adele speak Spanish? Who prayed for him? ... "Alma de Cristo santisima santificame! "Sangre de Cristo, embriagame! "O buen Jesus, oye me!" ... Out of the darkness into such a light! An azure haze!
