CHAPTER XXXII
7/21

But Bartholomew, thou art the man for this!" Accordingly, the next noontide, trumpets, and a proclamation made before the great cross in the middle of our town.

The Viceroy's new-come brother had every lieutenant power.
I do not know if he ever disappointed or abused it.

He became great helper to his great brother.
These three! They were a lesson in what brothers might be, one to the other, making as it were a threefold being.

Power was in this family, power of frame and constitution, with vital spirit in abundance; power of will, power of mind, and a good power of heart.

Their will was good toward mankind.
They had floods to surmount and many a howling tempest to out-endure.
By and large they did well with life,--very well.
