"There is no faster ship for her size on the high seas." "I am agreeable," said I. "Our own ship is not yet come, and time begins to hang heavy." "Then you shall come on board to-night," said Captain Nunez.
It is not well to show a light at this hour, seeing that the island is overrun with infuriated soldiers." The concluding sentence was addressed to Luisa Gomez in Portuguese. Realizing instinctively that the man came as a friend, she stood aside, trembling, on the verge of tears. He entered, and the door was closed behind him.
It took a long time to arrange them, and the apprentice was glad he had advised Maria Luisa and Lucia to come late.

And then there would have been no more Paolo, no more domestic annoyances, no more of the priest's smooth-faced disapprobation and perpetual opposition in the house. He would have soon brought Maria Luisa and Lucia to reason. What could they do without the support of Paolo? They were only women after all.
The younger members, Mary and Luisa, knew nothing about maples, but the word `sugar' was more familiar to them; and that, in connexion with the joyous looks of the others, at once produced visions of sweetmeats and candy.
"O Lord, for them! . . . for their mothers," moaned Dona Luisa, renewing her prayers.
