800 leagues on the Amazon
The whole family strolled toward the front of the raft Manoel and Benito walked one behind the other without speaking. Yaquita and her daughter silently followed, and all felt a strange sadness, as if they had a presentiment of some coming disaster. Torres stepped up to Joam Garral, who seemed to be lost in thought. He put his hand on his shoulder and said, “Joam Garral. May I talk with you in private?’
They went toward the house, entered it, and shut the door behind them. It would be difficult to describe what everyone felt when Joam Garral and Torres disappeared. What could there be in common between the adventurer and the honest Garral? The menace of some awful news seemed to hang over the whole family, and they hardly dared speak to each other.
“Manoel,” said Benito, grabbing his friend’s arm, “whatever happens, this man, Torres, must leave us tomorrow at Manaos!”
“Yes! He must!” answered Manoel.
“And if through him something bad happens to my father-I will kill him!”
For a moment, atone in the room, where no one could see or hear them, Joam Garral and Torres looked at each other without saying a word. Did the adventurer hesitate to speak? Did he think that Joam Garral would only reply to his demands with silence? Yes! Probably so. So Torres did not question him. At the outset of the conversation he took the part of an accuser. “Joam,” he said, “your name is not Garral. Your name is Dacosta!”
Joam Garral could not help shivering as Torres called him the guilty name.
“You are Joam Dacosta,” continued Torres, “who, twenty-five years ago, were a clerk in the govemor-general’s office at Tijuco. And you are the man who was sentenced to death for the diamond robbery and murder of the soldiers!” No response from Joam Garral. Whose strange quietness surprised the adventurer. ‘Joam Dacosta, I repeat! It was you they sought when the diamonds were stolen. You, whom they convicted of the crime and sentenced to death, and it was you who escaped from the prison at Villa Rica a few hours before you should have been executed! Do you not answer?” Rather a long silence followed this direct question which Torres asked. Joam Garral, still calm, took a seat. His elbow rested on a small table, and he looked directly at his accuser without bending his head.
“Will you reply?” repeated Torres.
“What reply do you want from me?” said Joam quietly.
“A reply,” Torres slowly answered, “that will stop me from finding the chief of the police at Manaos. And saying to him, ‘There is a man here who can be rganizer even after twenty-five years as the rganizer of the diamond robbery at Tiiuco. He was the assistant of the murderers who killed the soldiers; he is the man who escaped from execution; he is Joam Garral, whose true name is Joam Dacosta.’”
“And so, Torres,” said Joam Garral, “If I give you the right reply I shall have nothing to fear from you?”
“Nothing, for neither you nor I will have any interest in talking about the matter.”
“Neither you nor I?” asked Joam Garral. ‘It is not money you want, then?”
“No! No matter how much you offered me!”
“What do you want, then?”
“Joam Garral,” replied Torres, “here is my proposal. Do not be so quick to reply by a formal refusal. Remember that you are in my power.”
“What is this proposal?” asked Joam.
Torres hesitated for a moment. The attitude of this guilty man. Whose life he held in his hands, was enough to astonish him. He had expected a stormy discussion and prayers and tears. He had before him a man convicted of the most serious crimes, and the man didn’t look worried at all.
