Among other concessions weakly made to Roldan at this time was the gift of the Crown estate of Esperanza, situated in the Vega Real, whither he betook himself and embarked on what was nothing more nor less than a despotic reign, entirely ignoring the regulations and prerogatives of the Admiral, and taking prisoners and administering punishment just as he pleased.
As for love, let him come to his Rosamund for love, and appreciation, adoration! Rosamund drew nigh to her hour of peril with this torch of her love of Beauchamp to illuminate her. There had been a difficulty in getting him to go. One day Cecilia walked down to Dr. Shrapnel's with Mr. Tuckham, to communicate that the Esperanza awaited Captain Beauchamp, manned and provisioned, off the pier.
"So you were right Master Felix, about the washing, she has done well at that," said Smart, "and a mighty good washer she be, sending me out with shirts as white as any Lord's." We sailed in company, and it was hard to say which ship contained the merriest party, La Luna or the Esperanza. We touched at St. Helena, and there picked up another brother to our great delight and pleasure.
He was the ghost of the Nevil Beauchamp who had sprung on the deck of the Esperanza out of Lieutenant Wilmore's boat, that sunny breezy day which was the bright first chapter of her new life of her late life, as it seemed to her now, for she was dead to it, and another creature, the coldest of the women of earth.

He offered her his hand, which she contrived to avoid taking by dropping a formal half-reverence. 'Think of the Esperanza; she will be coasting her nominal native land! and adieu for to-day, Cecilia said to Beauchamp.
The seamen, frightened by the weather, and believing that Nature had set a barrier against their further progress, insisted on returning, although Diaz was convinced that he had reached the southern end of the continent. On the arrival of Diaz at Lisbon, the King, delighted with his discovery, gave to the cape the name of Cabo de Boa Esperanza, or Cape of Good Hope.
There shall be rucuses in Salvador, we say, and the monkeys had better climb the tallest cocoanut trees and the fire department get out its red sashes and two tin buckets. "About this time into the factory steps a native man incriminated by the name of General Mary Esperanza Dingo. He was some pumpkin both in politics and colour, and the friend of me and Jones.
"By Jove! a Roman candle!" ejaculated Norton. "It's a signal!" "No star out to sea," Dave said. "No star, but um boat." "Boat? You mean " "Esperanza! She come here to-night."
