After five days had passed, the servant girl returned to the house of her mistress with other three of the same race. She consoled the lady, saying that in a few days she would secure a remedy, and would obtain satisfaction of her desire. She asked for a separate room for these others to live in, into which no one must enter. The mistress consented. After three days they rubbed a medicine on the eyes of the girl that the youth was in pursuit of, and directed her that when he was passing she should take post at the window. Not many hours had elapsed when the youth, as was his practice every day, passed as anticipated in sight of the window to show himself off. The girl appeared at once, and then withdrew. When Joao Coelho saw his beloved, in place of going on his way, he came forthwith straight to the door of the widow, and began to knock, most humbly asking leave to enter and speak to the lady of the house. The Rajava servant advised them not to be in any hurry to open. The youth, growing impatient, began to knock vigorously, and shouted for them to open. They answered him from the window by abuse, ordering him to go away. To such an insolent fellow they would not open. On hearing this answer, he prostrated himself on the ground, and said he had come for a proposal of marriage to her whom he had seen at the window. - [Previous: 265.27.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.1) - [Next: 265.27.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.3) - [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.265.27.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.27.2) · Pramāṇa
