On arriving, they found to their astonishment the door fastened close, and no one to answer their knock. "Never mind, break it down," Henrique said, roughly. In obedience a few heavy blows fell on the woodwork, which soon gave way beneath their force. Stepping over the scattered splinters, Henrique saw a sight which filled him with horror.
And here I may mention a curious fact, probably hitherto unknown to the faculty, which was developed in our subsequent explorations, namely, that palpitation of the heart is contagious. H. was attacked with it on our third day out, and Don Henrique had formidable symptoms at sight of the merest hillock.
Let then the confessions of Henrique serve as a beacon to those who are inclined to yield to the first impulse; when, alarmed at the discovery of their errors, they will find that conviction has arrived too late, and that, like me, they will be irresistibly impelled against the struggles of reason and of conscience.
Henrique struck him across the face with his riding-whip, and, seizing one of his arms, forced him on to his knees, and beat him till he was out of breath. "There, you impudent dog!

Eva did not speak; her eyes were fixed and thoughtful for a few moments. "At any rate," she said, "dear Cousin, do love poor Dodo, and be kind to him, for my sake!" "I could love anything, for your sake, dear Cousin; for I really think you are the loveliest creature that I ever saw!" And Henrique spoke with an earnestness that flushed his handsome face.
