 84    1,   16|         Lina held out her hand, and Fragoso kept it for a few moments

162    2,   11|           is the document!” shouted Fragoso; “that is the very paper

168    2,   15|             will find it,” answered Fragoso.~And he did not find it!~
169    2,   15|             Here we should say that Fragoso had an idea of a project
170    2,   15|      employed, the very place where Fragoso had met Torres a few years
171    2,   15|          three days at the outside, Fragoso could get into communication

173    2,   15|        might require more time than Fragoso had at his disposal! And
174    2,   15|             August, before sunrise, Fragoso, without saying anything

184    2,   18|            Without losing a minute, Fragoso started on the search, and,
185    2,   18|        succeeded in meeting him.~To Fragoso’s questions the chief of
186    2,   18|        importance were asked him by Fragoso, and these were:~“Did not
