During the same night he left his convent and went to the house of an Englishman. There he continued to seek some means for obtaining leave to go to Pondicherry. While he was at this friend's the advice-giving compatriot appeared once more. He had come to pay him a visit — not to help or console him, but to advise him to place himself, as before, in the noose which they had made ready for him. This is apparent from the plausive talk which he went on uttering. At first he showed himself all compassion, and almost wept. This is the substance of what he said : ' Father, there is no other preferable course, nor can your reverence find anything else in this very great affliction than to escape this very night disguised in the clothes of a Malabar ' (i.e., a Tamil). He spoke with such great demonstrations of true friendship that the owner of the house they were in, though he did not understand the words, paid great attention to the gestures. The good friar, as one who much desired the thing, though with some apprehension of being misled, was on the point of accepting the advice. - [Previous: 338.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.3.7) - [Next: 338.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4.1) - [Up: 338.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.3.8) · Pramāṇa
