I started in all haste, but did not arrive in time to be of any use to her, the whole of her body having already become black. Therefore, when I had enjoined her to ask God's forgiveness, she called upon the name of Jesus as well as she could, and shortly afterwards expired. When the surgeon heard of his wife's death he was quite happy, and over and over again asked the king for leave to return to his own country, but all in vain. Once more he wrote a letter to Maria de Ataides, in which he said she ought to send back his son at once. If she did not, he had decided to make the boy over to Begam Sãhib, who \[80\] would send men to seize him. - [Previous: 353.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.2.3) - [Next: 353.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.2.5) - [Up: 353.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.353.2.4) · Pramāṇa
