The marvel of it had never lessened for him, and one night he said proudly, "We make good bargain when we give squash for Biblia Sagrada! Biblia Sagrada ver' good book." One day Mrs.Esvido read something that startled Delpha.

Site could hardly believe it possible that her mother hid read aright.
The words in the Portuguese language were these: "Amai a vossos inimigos, fazei bem aos que vos tem odio." (Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you.) Alas! Delpha knew whom that meant.
There had long been a deep-seated quarrel between her and Sara Frates.

Thinking of this bitter animosity, Delpha felt keenly the command, "Fazei bem aos que vos tem odio." Olive harvest went on.

The Esvido olives were gathered.

Then Delpha and Sara and others went to work in the American's costly olive-oil mill, scalding the mill-stones and the crushing troughs daily, sweeping the scraps of olive skins from the floors, and scalding the floors to keep every odor away from the precious olive oil.
