the King ordered that al Portuguese
who were in any way allied to or de-

Pombal, then minister in chief, short
~ afterward appeared at court with
three yellow hats under his arm. The
king, smiling. asked him:
What are YOU doing with these?"
The Marquis replied: II have them
in obedience to your m~ajesty's com.
mand, for really do not know a single
Portuguese Of note who has not Jewish

But" insisted the king, why three
hats?"
