Making inquiries, they discovered some fishermen who said the ouvidor (they recognising his cloak) was on the seashore attending to his necessities before going to fish. The crowd ran to the spot, and saw him as the fishermen had said. Not aware that he was dead, they made their bow to him. Finding he made no response, they asked him the reason of his coming alone without attendants. Remarking that still there was no reply, they removed the cloak, and found him dead with his tongue hanging out. Upon the unlocking of the city gates the woman moved out to her country house, and thus in a short time got rid of the crime. They told me that three magistrates had died from similar causes in the same town. At the auction of the deceased's effects I bought some cupboards, among them an escritoire. In it was a paper with a heart painted on it pierced by an arrow, which survived him as a mark that he had died for love. But it would have been more correct to paint his portrait with his neck broken, because from scoundrels in office noble deeds cannot be looked for. - [Previous: 265.7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.7.5) - [Next: 265.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.7.7) - [Up: 265.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.7.6) · Pramāṇa
