"Yes, she was beautiful, very lovely, with a foreign Spanish look in her eyes you have the same, I think, Cardo. There was a tradition of Spanish blood in the family." "And had she a Spanish temper, sir? quick and hasty, I mean."
A brave man from your midst has said to-day: 'We will not yield, so long as an arm is left on our bodies, to raise food to our lips and wield a sword! If we all think thus, twenty Spanish armies will find their graves before these walls. On Leyden depends the liberty of Holland.
The carpenter was informed of the exact contents of his despatches, so that in case of losing them in his passage through the Spanish camp he could repeat them by word of mouth to the citizens.

The merchant-traders to Spain would be always in the power of Spain, and at any favourable moment might be seized by Spain.
