"To my house they came," said she--"one ~senor~ not quite old, and one ~senorita~ of sufficient handsomeness. They desired not to eat or to drink--not even of my ~aguardiente~, which is the best. To their rooms they ascended--~Numero Nueve~ and ~Numero Diez~. Later came Senor Goodwin, who ascended to speak with them. Then I heard a great noise like that of a ~canon~, and they said that the ~pobre Presidente~ had shot himself. ~Esta bueno~. I saw nothing of money or of the thing you call ~veliz~ that you say he carried it in."英文原著 · 《Cabbages and Kings》
Temporary Cleansing from Sin. To wit, to the Well of the Earring. You must approach this with the profoundest reverence, for it is unutterably sacred. It is, indeed, the most sacred place in Benares, the very Holy of Holies, in the estimation of the people. It is a railed tank, with stone stairways leading down to the water. The water is not clean. Of course it could not be, for people are always bathing in it. As long as you choose to stand and look, you will see the files of sinners descending and ascending--descending soiled with sin, ascending purged from it.英文原著 · 《Following the Equator》
