Yet here, to her surprise, Cecily was faintly blushing. Early in the afternoon the piebald horses and dark brown chariot of the Amadors drew up before the gateway. The young people were delighted with Dona Felipa, and thought her blue eyes and tawny hair gave an added piquancy to her colorless satin skin and otherwise distinctively Spanish face and figure.
"Do put her down: she is too excitable for such games," I said in French, for Felipa seemed to divine our English now. "See the color she has." For there was a trail of dark red over the child's thin oval cheeks which made her look strangely unlike herself. As she caught our eyes fixed upon her she suddenly stopped her climbing and came and sat at Christine's feet.
This was about the year 1473, and shortly afterwards he married Felipa Moñiz, daughter of Bartolomeo Perestrello, an Italian in the service of the King of Portugal, and for some time Governor of Madeira.
I said one day when the child was sitting up for the first time in a cushioned chair. "Ah, yes: it is so delicious when they carry me," she replied. But it was Edward who carried her. "He is very strong," I said. "Yes, and their long soft hair, with the smell of roses in it too," said Felipa dreamily. But the hair was Christine's.
"Why did they not take me?" she said. "I am pretty now: she herself said it." "They cannot always take you, Felipa," I replied, giving up the point as to who had said it. "Why not? I am pretty now: she herself said it," persisted the child. "In these clothes, you know: she herself said it. The clothes of the son of Pedro you will never see more: they are burned." "Burned?"
We were there: that was enough. "She is growing like a reed," I said: "her illness has left her weak." "-Minded," suggested Christine, smiling. At this moment Felipa stroked the lady's white hand tenderly and laid her brown cheek against it. "Do you not feel reproached," I said. "Why? Must we give our love to whoever loves us?
Give him an inch or two more of skull, and what a creature a dog would be! For love and faithfulness even now what man can match him? But, although ugly, Felipa was a picturesque little object always, whether attired in boy's clothes or in her own forlorn bodice and skirt.
But Cecily's face betrayed no undue bashful consciousness, and she only asked, with a quiet smile, "Why not to to my cousin?" "Imbecile!" responded that lively young lady. After dinner the young people proposed to take Dona Felipa into the rose garden, while Aunt Viney entertained Donna Maria on the veranda. The young girl threw up her hands with an affectation of horror.
The tears still stood in her eyes, but her anger was forgotten: she improvised a sort of dance around my room, followed by Drollo dragging his twisted chain, stepping on it with his big feet, and finally winding himself up into a knot around the chair-legs. "Couldn't we make Drollo something too? dear old Drollo!" said Felipa, going to him and squeezing him in an enthusiastic embrace.
His good wife Felipa had died, and he had to find some place where he could leave his little son Diego while he went to court to ask for ships. Felipa had a sister married to a Spaniard and living in Huelva. With this lady Columbus decided to leave the boy.
