He's a famous navigator." "Martin Pinzon?" "Him too. But I meant our Admiral." "He hasn't had a ship for years!" "He was of the best when he had one! I've heard old Captain Ruy tell " "Maybe he wasn't crazy in those days, but he's crazy now!" That was Fernando. I think it was from him that certain of the crew took the word "crazy."
Ruy Gomez was a very strange compound of almost childlike and most honourable simplicity, and of the experienced wisdom with regard to the truth of matters in which he was not concerned, which sometimes belongs to very honourable and simple men. "You do not believe that my father is guilty," said Dolores, boldly asserting what she suspected.
Upon this occasion, Gonzalo Perez and Ruy Gomez complained bitterly that they had known nothing of the letters which had recently been despatched from Valladolid, while Tisnacq and Courterville had been ignorant of the communications forwarded by the hands of Egmont.
