After the Viceroy had remained for a while conversing of the affairs in which he had been engaged at Diu, he dismissed the meeting, and remained behind with Ruy de Araujo, André Diaz, Pedroinem, Antonio de Sintra, and Gaspar Pereira, officers of the King, and Jorge de Melo, whom he desired to stay with him; and then he began to say: “Now that we are alone, I would like to talk a little about that which was said to me by that foolish Afonso Dalboquerque, who is so impertinent that he would not allow us to take any rest, nor reach home, but immediately that I disembarked said that I gave him a bad reception, and made a disturbance, which you all heard, styling Gaspar Pereira his scrivener. You can well see hereby with how little reason it is that he demands that I should deliver over to him the government of India, and is unwilling to talk sensibly about it. As for the blame of this, it rests with the King, who favours this foolish fellow, and therefore let him look to the consequences.
