These are sad times, senhor, sad times, said the old man,

Oh! senhor, I forgot to tell you, that Ignacio d'Ozorio is here; he came with a message from your most reverend cousin, the holy Father Jacinto da Costa, to the Senhor Conde, to say that he wished to see him on urgent business, not being aware that he had quitted Lisbon; and when he heard that you had arrived, he said he would remain to see you, and that, perhaps, you would visit Father Jacinto instead of the Count.

I will speak to Father Ignacio, said Don Luis;

He awaits you in the drawing-room, senhor.

Welcome back to Portugal, my son, said the Jesuit, in that calm, bland voice, so universal among the members of his order.

I came here, expecting to find your respected parent, but, as he is absent, I feel confident my superior will be glad to see you.

I trust that my reverend cousin, Father Jacinto, is not unwell?

His health does not fail him, nor his mind, though the latter is sorely vexed by the attacks which are daily made against our order, and which require all his energy and talents to combat; but on that subject he will speak to you.

I will gladly accompany you, and am ready this instant to set out,

You know not, my son, the changes which have taken place during your absence; for it is now dangerous to be seen holding conversation with one of our order, so hated are we by the secretary of state, Sebastiao Joze de Carvalho. I will precede you, and announce your coming.
