D'AGUILAR SPEAKS 

"Losses?" said d'Aguilar. "Do I hear the wealthy John Castell, who holds half the trade with Spain in the hollow of his hand, talk of losses?" 

"Yes, Señor, you do. Things have gone ill with this ship of mine that has barely lived through the spring gales. But be seated." 

"Indeed, is that so?" said d'Aguilar as he sat down. "What a lying jade is rumour! For I was told that they had gone very well. Doubtless, however, what is loss to you would be priceless gain to one like me." 

Castell made no answer, but waited, feeling that his visitor had not come to speak with him of his trading ventures. 

"Señor Castell," said d'Aguilar, with a note of nervousness in his voice, "I am here to ask you for something." 

"If it be a loan, Señor, I fear that the time is not opportune." And he nodded towards the sheet of figures. 

"It is not a loan; it is a gift." 

"Anything in my poor house is yours," answered Castell courteously, and in Oriental form. 

"I rejoice to hear it, Señor, for I seek something from your house." 

Castell looked a question at him with his quick black eyes. 

"I seek your daughter, the Señora Margaret, in marriage." 

Castell stared at him, then a single word broke from his lips. 

"Impossible." 

"Why impossible?" asked d'Aguilar slowly, yet as one who expected some such answer. "In age we are not unsuited, nor perhaps in fortune, while of rank I have enough, more than you guess perhaps. I vaunt not myself, yet women have thought me not uncomely. I should be a good friend to the house whence I took a wife, where perchance a day may come when friends will be needed; and lastly, I desire her not for what she may bring with her, though wealth is always welcome, but--I pray you to believe it--because I love her."  1.

input: Brighton is a seaside resort on the south coast of England. It is part of the city of Brighton and Hove and the ceremonial county of East Sussex, within the historic county of Sussex. 

Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The ancient settlement of "Brighthelmstone" was documented in the "Domesday Book" (1086). The town's importance grew in the Middle Ages as the Old Town developed, but it languished in the early modern period, affected by foreign attacks, storms, a suffering economy and a declining population. Brighton began to attract more visitors following improved road transport to London and becoming a boarding point for boats travelling to France. The town also developed in popularity as a health resort for sea bathing as a purported cure for illnesses. 

In the Georgian era, Brighton developed as a fashionable seaside resort, encouraged by the patronage of the Prince Regent, later King George IV, who spent much time in the town and constructed the Royal Pavilion in the Regency era. Brighton continued to grow as a major centre of tourism following the arrival of the railways in 1841, becoming a popular destination for day-trippers from London. Many of the major attractions were built in the Victorian era, including the Grand Hotel, the West Pier, and the Brighton Palace Pier. The town continued to grow into the 20th century, expanding to incorporate more areas into the town's boundaries before joining the town of Hove to form the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in 1997, which was granted city status in 2000. 1.

Q: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (CNN) -- Officials are forcing the 25-year-old model who won the Dominican Republic's top beauty pageant to hand over her crown, saying she violated contest rules when she hid her marriage. 

Pageant organizers claim Carlina Duran had been married since 2009 but told Miss Dominican Republic contest organizers she was single. Contestants in the pageant cannot be married or divorced, organizers said. 

The runner-up in last week's Miss Dominican Republic contest, Dulcita Lieggi, will represent the Caribbean nation in the Miss Universe pageant, organizers said. 

Dominicans were divided over the pageant's decision. 

"If there is an established rule, and it comes out that she is married, she is violating the rule," said Rafael Concepcion. 

On Duran's official Facebook page, fans lamented the move. 

Dari Baez said taking away Duran's crown was unfair. "She already won it," Baez said. 

Beauty queens from dozens of countries are scheduled to compete in the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas in June.
