Now, Boldero said,

We must be out of sight of land if we can by the morning, Stephen said, when Geoffrey two hours later came to take his place at the helm;

My daughter is attiring herself, señor, he said to Stephen Boldero, for Geoffrey was at the time at the helm.
gpt
She is longing to see you, and to thank you for the inestimable services you have rendered to us both. But for you I should now be dying or dead, my daughter a slave for life in the palace of the bey. What astonishes us both is, that such noble service should have been rendered to us by two absolute strangers, and not strangers only, but by Englishmen--a people with whom Spain is at war--and who assuredly can have no reason to love us. How came you first to think of interesting yourself on our behalf?

To tell you the truth, señor, Stephen Boldero said bluntly,
gpt
Ah, you are modest, sir, the Spaniard said.
human
You are one of those who belittle your own good deeds. I feel indeed more grateful than I can express to you as well as to your friend.
gpt
This, Dolores, is one of the two Englishmen who have at the risk of their lives saved me from death and you from worse than death. Thank him, my child, and to the end of your life never cease to remember him in your prayers.

I am glad to have been of assistance, señora, Boldero said as the girl began to speak;
gpt
Ah, sir, the girl said, laying her hands earnestly upon the sailor's shoulder,

My daughter and I have come to thank you, señor, for having saved us from the worst of fates and restored us to each other. Your friend tells me that it is to you it is chiefly due that this has come about, for that you were so moved to pity at the sight of my daughter when we first landed, that you declared at once that you would save her from her fate at whatever risk to yourself, and that since then he has been but following your directions.
gpt
Then if he says that, señor, he belies himself. I was, it is true, the first to declare that we must save your daughter at any cost if it were possible to do so; but had I not said so, I doubt not he would have announced the same resolution. Since then we have planned every thing together; and as he is older and more experienced than I am, it was upon his opinion that we principally acted. We had long made up our minds to escape when the opportunity came. Had it not been that we were stirred into action by seeing your daughter in the hands of the Moors, it might have been years before we decided to run the risks. Therefore if you owe your freedom to us, to some extent we owe ours to you; and if we have been your protectors so far, we hope that when we arrive in Spain you will be our protectors there, for to us Spain is as much an enemy's country as Barbary.

That you can assuredly rely upon, the trader replied.
gpt
All that I have is at your disposal.
