"Of a truth, senor governor," said the carver, "your worship is in the right of it in everything you have said; and I promise you in the name of all the inhabitants of this island that they will serve your worship with all zeal, affection, and good-will, for the mild kind of government you have given a sample of to begin with, leaves them no ground for doing or thinking anything to your worship's disadvantage."
-Por cierto, señor gobernador -dijo el maestresala-, que vuesa merced tiene mucha razón en cuanto ha dicho, y que yo ofrezco en nombre de todos los insulanos desta ínsula que han de servir a vuestra merced con toda puntualidad, amor y benevolencia, porque el suave modo de gobernar que en estos principios vuesa merced ha dado no les da lugar de hacer ni de pensar cosa que en deservicio de vuesa merced redunde.
