Part I - Chapter 4 - Great changes for Manoel

Manoel went upstairs in the great reception hall. Mister Euclides with his two sons and some guests were already present, as were his superintendent, his secretary and the governess. In a corner of the wide hall four musicians were seated playing chamber music softly. Downstairs the slaves were welcoming the new guests by opening their coach doors. Old Moses stood inside the second story doorway to the reception hall announcing the guests aloud as they arrived.

The wide reception hall was soon crowded with people, and the daughters of the guests were discretely competing to get the attention of the house-lord's two sons. At a certain point Moses announced the arrival of Mister Joaquim Meirelles Chagas from S┴o Paulo accompanied by his wife and son. The name meant nothing to Manoel, but as soon as he saw the man coming in, he recognised him; as when he lived in S┴o Paulo that man had been his client several times. The man usually took him to a brothel where he amused himself fucking the boy standing in front of a wide mirror.

Their eyes met, but the man didn't give any sign he recognised the boy. He either was quite skilled in hiding his recognition, or he truly didn't remember Manoel. Anyway, the boy thought, he possibly was just one of the many boys that the man paid to amuse him, all surely kept secret from his wife and son. Manoel was not able to stop watching the man.

While he was watching him, he remembered a detail - when that man paid him, he always took his wallet from a back pocket of his trousers, the one at the left. His other clients usually kept their wallet in the internal pocket of their tailcoat. He also remembered that the man's wallet was usually well padded with money notesи

Then Manoel thought that all summed up, he could use his old skill to slip away people's wallets, so he could get a nice little nest egg, so that when he would leave Mister Quadros Dutra's mansion he could survive for some time without many problems.

He carefully studied all the man's movements, trying to catch a good moment for his venture. He finally saw the man circled by other people who were huddled close together to hear him tell the latest political news.

ри and so Aureliano Coutinho dismissed Jos▌ Bonifacio from the charge of our Emperor's tutor and had the marquis of Itanah▌m take his placeис the man was telling to his attentive audience.

Manoel, moved in back of the man, and with a light and self-assured hand at the right moment managed to slip the wallet from the man's pocket. He still had it in his hand when he saw that Nicolau was watching him with a somewhat frowned expression. Manoel quickly lightly tapped on Mister Joaquim's shoulder and the man turned to look at him.

рSir, there was this wallet on the floorи I think it must belong to youис he said handing it to the man.

The man and Manoel looked at each other for a moment. After a reconnaissance flash in his eyes, the man said impassively, рYes, it is mine. Thank you, young man, very kind of you!с and he put it back into his pocket.

Manoel moved away. He saw that Nicolau was following him with his eyes and felt his heart in his mouth. He then noticed that Getulio was also looking at him, and from his contemptuous smile understood that very likely also the younger brother noticed his manoeuvreи and he felt lost.

Silently and stealthily the boy left the reception hall, up the stairway and to his bedroom. He quickly put his clothes and precious copybooks in a bag and headed toward the service stairway leading to the ground floor. He figured this was the best time to run away!

But, along the corridor he found Nicolau standing in front of him. The boy froze and blushed to his ear tips.

рManoel, where are you going?с

рAwayис the boy wailed.

рI've little time. Let's go to your room, as we have to talk.с Manoel obeyed. Nicolau closed the door behind him. рSit down.с he said to the boy.

Manoel sat on the edge of his bed and Nicolau sat at his side. рWhy did you do it?с he asked, serious but not harsh.

рI, mister Nicolauи I wanted to leave andи I thoughtи I have not even a milreis, and soис

рFirst of all, if you needed some money, wouldn't it have been better instead you ask me for it?с

рI didn't have the courageис

рBut you had the courage to try to steal them, hadn't you? And secondly, why did you want to leave? Aren't you happy here with us? We were becoming really affectionate toward youис

рYou see now that I don't deserve your affectionис

рDon't be silly boy! Explain to me why you decided to go away? Here you are studying, getting an education, you have good food, a decent shelter, clothesи what is it that didn't go well?с

рMister Getulio hates meи and you are about to leave for four monthsи and Mister Getulio will take revenge on me to make me pay for all the times you defended meи and especially now, if he too saw what I tried to do, as you saw meис

рListen, I don't have enough time right now, but I want to talk about this with you more again. Wait for me here in your room. When the party is over I will come here and we will talk about it again, agreed?с

рAs you order, Master Nicolauис the boy sadly answered.

Manoel awaited Nicolau's return, torn between the desire to run away and the word he gave to Nicolau.

Meanwhile the party came to an end and all the guests left. Getulio at once asked his father to talk with him and to also call Nicolau to join them.

рListen father, I require that little snake Manoel be immediately punished.с

рWhat ever for Getulio? What can he have done this time?с Euclides asked, somewhat irritated.

рI caught him during the party slipping the wallet out of Mister Meirelles Chagas' pocket!с

рNo way!с Nicolau immediately intervened. рI clearly saw it. He picked up the wallet from the floor and gave it back to Mister Joaquin!с he said, lying to protect the boy.

рIt is not at all so, and you know it very well. Stop protecting that thief!с Getulio angrily yelled.

рIt is surely as I said, you did wrongly interpret what you saw. And we also know very well that you, for some weird reasons, have hated that boy from the first day he set foot here. A few days ago you even scolded him because he was wearing an old suit you didn't use any more, without even thinking that is what father's decision!с Nicolau insisted with vigour.

рNo, you are protecting him against all evidence! What is it Nicolau, do you fancy that boy and want him in your bed?с his brother said with poison in his voice.

рEnough Getulio! I can't permit you to even think such a thing could happen! Apologize immediately to your brother!с mister Euclides yelled.

рYou see father how Getulio invents the most absurd things, just to do harm to that boy? But why, I ask myself; what did he ever do against you?с

рNo, no, it is you who well know you are lying, Nicolau. And it's me who asks why!с Getulio said and went out of the room, slamming the door.

рGetulio, come back immediately!с the father thundered, but the young man didn't come back.

рLet him go fatherи I'm afraid it is not worth trying to reason with himис

рGood, I want to understand this matter clearly. Where is the boy now?с

рIn his bedroom,с Nicolau answered.

рLet's go to see him, I want to know his version of what happenedис

They went up to the second floor and on the stairs they met Getulio as he was coming down.

рWhere is Manoel?с Nicolau asked suspiciously.

рHe ran away, further confirming my version of the facts,с Getulio answered triumphantly.

рYou forced him to go away, I bet!с Nicolau accused.

рWhy would he leave, if he really is innocent?с

рBecause he is scared of you! This is why he leftис

The two youths didn't notice that their father went hurriedly down the service stairs. Mister Euclides went to the stable, took his horse and then, after touring around the residence, took off down the alley. In a few minutes at full gallop he reached the boy.

рManoel, Manoel, just stop!с he shouted.

The boy stopped and looked at the man with a scared expression. Mister Euclides dismounted from his horse and seized the boy's arm.

рYou and I have to talk, boy.с the man said curtly.

Manoel looked at him then lowered his eyes.

рWhy are you leaving my house?с

рBecause Master Getulio said that you were going to call the police and report meис

рWhy should I report you? Nicolau said he saw you pick up the wallet from the floor and give it to Mister Joaquim. Where is the problem?с

рMaster Nicolau is good heartedи he always helped me, protected meи but this timeи this timeи Master Getulio was right.с

рSo, then, you stole that wallet?с

рYes, it is soис the boy admitted in a low voice.

рBut then, why did you give it back to Mister Joaquim?с

рBecauseи because Master Nicolau saw me taking it, so I felt ashamed for what I did.с

рWhy did you try to steal it?с

рI, sirи I don't really deserve all your kindliness. I, after I ran away from the orphanage, for three yearsи I lived in a dishonest way, pilfering here and there, slipping out the passer-by's walletsи I am not a person deserving to live in your houseис

рBut during these many months you always behaved rightly, you always worked well and nobody even complained that something was missing in the houseис

рOh no, I would never have stolen something of yours sir! And I had all the good intentions to start living an honest life, thanks to your help. Butи but I was scared of Master Getulioи especially now that Master Nicolau is leavingи So then, I yielded to the temptation andи and I did wrong again.с

рI could possibly be wrong in my judgement, butи I have the feeling that in spite of all said and done, you are an honest boy. At least, you confessed at once your fault to me without trying to make excuses, even after I told you that Nicolau had cleared you. Yes, I can understand your reason for wanting to leave as, unhappily, Getulio is making your life difficult. I also cannot understand why he behaves so, but anyway, by going away from my house, what do you intend to do? Resume your old life?с

рI don't know, Master Euclides, I wouldn't, but I don't knowис

рIf you are determined to leave Manoelи I can surely not force you to stay, butис

At that moment Nicolau also arrived on his horse.

рManoelи you promised me you would wait for meис the young man started to say as he dismounted from his horse.

рI beg your forgiveness sir. But I have already raised too many problems between you and your brotherи And I thank you for having tried once again to protect me, Master Nicolau, but you know very well that I really tried to steal that walletи thereforeи when mister Getulio came and told me that he would report me to the police if I didn't leave at onceи I preferred to break my word rather than risk to end in a jail.с

The evening was rapidly advancing and a thin rain was starting to fall.

рWell, it will be better now if we all go back home. Once we are sheltered and warm, we will resume this conversation. Nicolau, will you please take the boy on your saddle with you?с

рYes father.с

рThen you both come to my studio.с

рAlright father.с

They entered Mister Euclides' studio. Manoel, seeing that Getulio was not there, felt a little less tense, even though he was feeling ashamed to death.

рHave a seat.с the man said to his son and to the boy. рSo then, how will we settle this problem now?с he asked crossing his fingers on the top of his desk and leaning a little towards them.

рFather, may I speak?с Nicolau asked.

рOf course.с the man answered.

рManoel did wrong, it is true. But after all he is still just a boy, he is not a bad boy and he comes from a very difficult lifeи I think we should offer him a second chanceис

рI would agree with you, Nicolau. But you see it seems that between Getulio and him there isn't good bloodи and after what happened a few hours ago, I'm afraid that the situation could become even more difficult, or rather unbearableис

рYes, I understand, butи I thought about it. To tell the truth I already thought about it even before this problem arose. Manoel likes to study very much, and once he told me that he would like to become a teacherис

рOh, really?с Euclides asked. рAnd why would you like to become a teacher?с

рTo tell the truth sir, that was just a dreamи I don't even know if I would have enough brain to study, to really become a teacherис

рBut why have you dreamed of becoming a teacher?с the man insisted, sincerely interested.

рIи at the orphanageи the only beautiful moment was when the teacher taught us things, made us discover more and more new things, interesting thingsи I admired him very much and was thinking that I would like to become like him, to help children to grow up, to learn, to become somebodyис the boy answered, forgetting for a moment the shame that was gripping him.

рBut the teachers, besides possibly some private tutors, don't earn much moneyис the man said.

рIt would already be rewarding for me to know that I could help someone to grow up with an education, and also to get a good job, a job he likesи at least as long as I could earn enough to have a decent life.с Manoel answered.

рFather,с Nicolau intervened. рYou know the director of the 'Superior Institution for Teaching' in S┴o Paulo, and I know that they hold courses to issue teacher's certificates. If you put in a good word for him, they could possibly enrol himи Would you be willing to go there and study Manoel?с

рMaster Nicolau, I really don't know if I would be able toис

рWhen I was teaching you the Italian language, you were learning it fast and well. I am sure that if you apply yourself you will get the certificate, and even with good marks.с

рBesides, attending a school is expensive and only rich people can hope to get a certificateис the boy still objected.

рListen Manoel, I think that Nicolau's idea is goodи I know also that the most deserving students can get scholarships. I therefore propose this. First of all, I will try to have you accepted to the Institution, and for the first year I will pay your boarding charges. If you achieve good grades, from the second year on you can get the scholarship and, if you go on studying seriously you can have it right up through your graduation year. What do you think of this, boy?с

рSirи after what I did todayи I really don't deserve itис Manoel weakly protested.

рMy boy, I surely won't forget your misadventure of this afternoon, but I won't forget that you hurt yourself helping us save our crop when you still didn't have any duty in my regards. Anyway, all I am risking is the cost of one hear of boarding charges, as afterwards you should be able to suffice by yourself. Do you feel like trying to do it? Do you feel like applying yourself?с

рIи I reallyи I don't know how to thank you, Mister Euclides, Master Nicolau! Iи certainly will do my best, and I really hope you will never have to regret what you are offering me!с

рWe too hope so Manoel. Or rather, I personally am sure you will succeed.с Nicolau said to him with a warm smile.

рGood. So now, go up to your room Manoel. In the next days you will not help in the library, but you will study with Nicolau. As soon as possible I will go to S┴o Paulo and see if, as I hope, you will be accepted at the Institution. You Nicolau, before your departure, try to prepare the boy for his new life.с

Manoel went back to his bedroom, undressed and threw himself on the bed. He burst in tears, relieving himself of all the tension of those last hours. He was asking himself how he could have done such a wrong thing here in the house of his benefactors. He was feeling a sense of guilt, especially towards Nicolau. He finally felt asleep, finding some relief.

The next day Nicolau called the boy down.

рYou will see that my father will successfully get your admission to the Institution, but you have to promise me that you will seriously apply yourself and not make me regret having given you my friendship.с

рWhy are you doing all this for me, especially after having seeing who I am, after I told you how I lived for three years?с

рBecause I think that any person should have a chance in his life. Because I can understand you, as I too know what it means having lost his motherи but at least I have a father, a home, and comfortи You have nothing of this from your life. The wrong you can have done in your past life does not count. If you want to seriously apply yourself to remake your lifeи I feel that if you want that, you can and will succeed.с

рI would like having as much confidence in myself as you have in me Master Nicolau, but I am afraid that on the contrary, Master Getulio could be right about me.с

рNo, Manoel, you have to never surrender to the prejudice that others may have towards you. You have to always fight and try to improve yourself, at least to belie those who judge you wrongly. Do you promise you that you will do your best?с

рIи I will do all I can, as not to deceive you once more, Master Nicolau. I swear it!с

рGood. And when I return from Europe, I will come and visit you, I promise. And you will show me that I have not been wrong about you. But now, let's start to busy ourselves about your preparation. We have a few days. So to prepare you for when you are accepted at the Institution and the easier it will be for you to progress. So then, let's start with some mathematics. Is that alright?с

рAnything you decide is good with me Master Nicolau.с

During the few days remaining before Nicolau's departure, the young man made the boy undergo an intense studies regiment.. Manoel was really doing all he could with all his will and thank to his lively intelligence and his strong will, he was rapidly improving.

Mister Euclides returned from S┴o Paulo informing them that the Institution accepted Manoel's enrolment and also that the boy would be hosted in a dorm of college students. Nicolau did his last preparation for his travels to Italy, and also assisted Manoel to prepare his luggage for his new adventure.

Finally Mister Euclides made the big coach ready to first see Manoel to S┴o Paulo to leave him at the Institution, than Nicolau to the port to embark for Europe.

As they got to S┴o Paulo, Manoel was introduced to the Institution's director, then also to the director of the boarding college where he was assigned a place in one of the six bedrooms with five other students, all sons of rich families coming from the state or also from the neighbouring states. Here Manoel had a surprise - he had been recorded as Manoel Branco Dutraи In fact Mister Euclides had added his name so that the boy wouldn't feel ashamed in front of his schoolmates, because only the illegitimate children, in those times, had only one family name.

рIи I really don't know how to thank you Mister Euclidesи I reallyис the boy almost stammered, his eyes glossy with emotion.

рYou have only one way to thank both me and my son Nicolau, Manoel - do so that we would never have to feel ashamed because of you, and to regret having given you our name.с

рI swear sirи I swearи I will do my very best to make you both proud of me.с

So Manoel started his studies to become a teacher. He was applying himself with extreme seriousness, so that soon he started getting good grades in all the disciplines, and the messages that each month the Institution's director sent to Mister Euclides Quadros Dutra were always positive.

Manuel mixed quite well with his fellow students, and as well with the other five roommates of his dormitory. Of course it was not always easy to get along well with everybody, especially with those sons of noble families who seemed to be snobbish, but the boy did his best to avoid frictions and to live together with all the others without problems.

The only one problem that started to arise for Manoel was that in there it was rather difficult to get a close friend with whom to start a sexual relationship, and the boy was missing it more and more. Seeing his companions in their bedroom, a couple of them even rather handsome and physically attractive, half naked when they were dressing or undressing was just increasing his desires. Going to the toilet to masturbate was a pale palliative that, even if at the moment seemed to lessen his desires, left him even more filled of desire than before.

Manoel tried to resist, as he could well understand he shouldn't risk spoiling everything and creating a scandal, as he was keen about keeping his promise not to give any reason to his benefactors to be ashamed of him.

Four and a half months later, Master Nicolau returned from Europe and before even going to Santo Andr▌, he passed to see Manoel and to be informed about him.

The boy was incredibly happy to see the young man again. He had brought him from Italy as a present three beautiful books - рLa Divina Commediaс by Dante, the рUltime lettere di Jacopo Ortisс by Foscolo, and рI viaggiс by Alfieri.

Nicolau asked leave to the director to take the boy downtown with him for a half day and took him at the home of some friends who organized a welcome back little party for Nicolau. There Manoel met one of his former customers, a twenty-five year old young man called Deodoro, who had paid Manoel several times to have him in his bed. They both recognized each other at once, but both pretended to have met for the first time in that occasion.

Later Deodoro managed to be alone with Manoel for a short while, рThank you for pretending you didn't know me.с he said.

рAnd I have to thank you. It would have been a disgrace, if Master Nicolau discovered how I did earn my living when I was here in S┴o Pauloис

рYes, I can imagine itи But by chance, are you and my friend Nicolau?с

рOh no, there has never had been anything between us, really nothing at all!с

рI trust you, and I would have been really astounded ifи You, now that you are living in the boarding college, surely can't easily doи such things, I guess.с

рNo, Master Deodoro, I really cannot, and I don't want to take the risk either. Trying to do it could raise a scandal, and to be thrown out above all would bring dishonour on the Doutra's name, which I would never do.с

рWouldn't you like doing it again?с

рOf course I would like, but you possibly know that we are not allowed to leave the school without a special authorization.с

рIf I couldи If I could get that authorization for you once in awhile, would you come with me?с

рReally willingly, Master Deodoroи more than willingly.с

рIn bed, I meanис the young man added in a low voice.

рYes, of course, I understoodи as I said, very willingly with you.с

рVery good. I will then propose my friend Nicolau toи to take care of you so that on Sundays, as you have no lessons, I can come and take you to come with me, and we can spend it together. Do you agree?с

рI would be really grateful Master Deodoro. Do you still have at your disposal that delightful little house amongst the trees at the sea-shore?с

рYes, and I even managed to buy it, so that it is finally all and only mine.с

рAh, I really hope you can arrange to take me with you Master Deodoro.с

рI too, Manoelи and am longing to be able to feel again all your so beautiful cock deep inside me, do you know?с the young man whispered while they were returning to mix with the others.
