Juan de Pareja

In Chapter Seven, the king sends Don Diego to Italy to paint a portrait of his sister, the Infanta Maria. While he is there, Don Diego will buy art for the king and study the methods of the renowned Italian painters. While the painter and slave are gone, the family will stay with Dosa Juana's father in Seville. Their departure from Seville is hindered when Master is stricken by a migraine. Finally, he is well enough to travel. Tiny Paquita grasps Juan's legs and cries, "Juanico not go! Juanico not leave Paquita!" Despite the tiny girl's protests, the two men leave. They are soon aboard a small boat bound for Italy. Don Diego is horribly seasick all the way.
