refection with that comfort which is seemly and convenient: but to the

Of Balseiro I have already had occasion to speak in the former part of
this narrative.  He was now confined in an upper story of the prison, in
a strong room, with several other malefactors.  He had been found guilty
of aiding and assisting one Pepe Candelas, a thief of no inconsiderable
renown, in a desperate robbery perpetrated in open daylight upon no less
a personage than the queen’s milliner, a Frenchwoman, whom they bound in
her own shop, from which they took goods and money to the amount of five
or six thousand dollars.  Candelas had already expiated his crime on the
scaffold, but Balseiro, who was said to be by far the worst ruffian of
the two, had by dint of money, an ally which his comrade did not possess,
contrived to save his own life; the punishment of death, to which he was
originally sentenced, having been commuted to twenty years’ hard labour
in the _presidio_ of Malaga.  I visited this worthy, and conversed with
him for some time through the wicket of the dungeon.  He recognized me,
and reminded me of the victory which I had once obtained over him, in the
trial of our respective skill in

 my care shall, at any time you hope it, be allow to wait upon you

 irons they wear, to be pink off in order that they may partake of your 
 refection with that comfort which is becoming and commodious: but to the 
 gentleman in question I must object; he is the about evil disposed of the 
 whole of this kin, and would about assuredly breed a _ funcion _ either 
 in your apartment or in the corridor, by an attempt to elude.   Cavalier, 
 _ me pesa _, { 154 } but I cannot accede to your request.   But with respect 
 to any early gentleman, I shall be most happy, even Balseiro, who, though 
 foreign things are told of him, still knows how to comport himself, and 
 in whose behavior there is something both of formality and politeness, 
 shall this day share your hospitality if you desire it, cavalier. ”
