Suddenly the arras in the corner was lifted and Hualipa reappeared, who, lifting one hand, said somewhat in his soft speech, whereupon Don Federigo rose suddenly and I also. "Senor Martino," said he, taking my hand, "good friend, the familiars of the Holy Office are come for you, so now is farewell, God go with you, and so long as I live, I am your friend to aid you whensoever I may.
And now, with a bow to me, Don Federigo speaks to him in tongue I had never heard before, a language very soft and pleasing: "Your pardon, sir," said Don Federigo when we were alone, "but Hualipa is an Indian and hath but indifferent Spanish." "An Indian?" "An Aztec Cacique that I saved from an evil death. He is one of the few I can trust.
Here our guide paused as if unsure; but suddenly was the gleam of a lanthorn and I heard Don Federigo's welcome voice: "Is that Hualipa?" Our guide moved forward and, pausing in the glare of the lanthorn, let fall his cloak and I, beholding that pallid, impressive face, the dull eyes, small mouth, and high thin nose, knew him for Fra Alexo, Chief Inquisitor of Nombre de Dios.
But now must I see you back in your bonds." He now signed to Hualipa who forthwith bound my wrists, though looser than before, whereupon Don Federigo sighed and left me.
