I. WELL! have patience, you shall have justice done you. You must think of what you have done or said during the time you lived at Malaga, and confess; for that is the only way to get out of your troubles. But let us continue our examination: to be sure you was not brought here for nothing, was you?
M. MY lord, I don't know what I was brought here for.
I. YOU must think of that, and you must tell me how old you are; and likewise, as far as you can remember, what company you have kept, what business you have followed, what countries you have travelled in, and what languages you can speak.
M. MY lord, I have been a traveller many years, and have made many trading voyages; sometimes in one country, and sometimes in another, and can't remember how long I lived in every place, but I will tell you as well as I can.
