Let our warrant issue summoning before us our cousin, the noble Marquis of Morella, the Senora Dene, who is said to be his wife, and the priest Henriques of Motril, who is said to have married them. When they have arrived, all of them, the king my husband and I will examine into the matter, and, until then, we will not suffer our minds to be prejudiced by hearing any more of this cause."
You'll exploit the pockets of the black men and I'll see what I can do with their minds. There was another steerage passenger whom I could not help observing because of my dislike of his appearance. He, too, was a little man, by name Henriques, and in looks the most atrocious villain I have ever clapped eyes on.
"A curse," said Affonso Henriques, "perishes with him that uttered it." He could reason loosely, you see, this hot-blooded, impetuous young cutter of Gordian knots. "And it imports above all else that the curse should be lifted from my city of Coimbra." "It shall be, my son, as soon as you show penitence and a Christian submission to the Holy Father's will," said the undaunted Cardinal.
Of other transactions, nothing inferior to theirs, perhaps even far greater, which have been performed by other nations, there is little or no memory, because these do not remain recorded by history: Such are those of the Assyrians, Medes and Persians; of the Africans against the Romans; of the Suevi against Julius Caesar; of the Spaniards in recovering their country from the Moors; and principally of these invincible and pious kings of Portugal, your glorious ancestors, Don Alonso Henriques, Don Sancho his son, and Don Alonso, who acquired the kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve by great and wonderful deeds of arms.
Once I had been high-minded, and thought of my duty to my country, but in that night ride I fear that what I thought of was my duty to enrich David Crawfurd. One other purpose simmered in my head. I was devoured with wrath against Henriques.
"I ventured to speak to Henriques, the young man at the bureau, before coming up. I know him quite well. I took it on myself to give an order on your behalf." "That he wasn't to be allowed to come up?" "Yes. I told Henriques to get rid of him." "Oh, thank you! Thank you! I've been in misery all day thinking at every moment that he might open my door and walk in." "They won't let him up."
The next best thing was to find Arcoll's Kaffir, who was not twenty yards away, get some sort of horse, and break for the bush. Long before morning we should have been over the Berg and in safety. Nay, if I wanted a mount, there was Henriques' whinnying a few paces off. Instead I did the craziest thing of all.
"There are no horses on this beach, and we cannot walk to Granada in our state." Peter nodded, and, led by the priest, whose name they discovered to be Henriques, they started. On the crest of the hill a few hundred paces away they turned and looked back, to see that every able-bodied inhabitant of the village seemed by now to be engaged in plundering the stranded vessel.
'He is safe enough, Laputa said, after what seemed to me an eternity. 'The noise was only the rats among the barrels. I thanked my Maker that they had not noticed the other trap-door. 'All the same I think I'll make him safer, said Henriques. Laputa seemed to have caught him by the arm. 'Come back and get to business, he said. 'I've told you I'll have no more murder.
I could see through a gap the centre of the river, and it was filled with a mass of struggling men and horses'. I remember that it amazed me that no shot was fired in return. Then I remembered the vow, and was still more amazed at the power of a ritual on that savage horde. The column was moving past me to the right. It was a disorderly rabble which obeyed Henriques' orders.
