This woman was poor and without protectors, but of a noble family, of good behaviour, respected, and of a retired life. In the same town dwelt a youth called Joao Coelho, who was very rich. He did not know how much he had, and at that time did not count his money, but measured it by bushels as if it were grain. Relying upon his wealth, and seeing that the above woman was poor, he sent people to intrigue with the elder daughter, asking her to become his mistress. This insulting message she imparted to her mother, and it caused great indignation in the family. The widow had a servant girl of Rajava race, who noticed the anger there was in the household, and made bold to ask her mistress the cause of so much indignation. They told her what was going on. Thereupon the Rajava woman asked leave from her mistress to live out of the house for some days, till she could plan a remedy for such impertinence. The widow, who was aggrieved by the young man's overture, willingly gave leave of absence to the servant girl. - [Previous: 265.26.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.26.7) - [Next: 265.27.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.2) - [Up: 265.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.1) · Pramāṇa
