"Olivier," said Fontrailles, "go at once to Saint-Germain with Fournier and Ambrosio; I will go and give an account to Monsieur, with Montresor." All separated, and disgust accomplished, with these highborn men, what force could not bring about. Thus ended this fray, likely to bring forth great misfortunes. No one was killed in it.
Fray Miguel de San Marco Fray Bartolome de Aguirre Fray Ambrosio de Leon, procurator. Sire: The Order of St. Augustine in these islands has for years been in need of reform, and many letters have been written to your Majesty on this subject.
"To-morrow," said Don Ambrosio, as he left her one evening, "to-morrow is the auto da fé. To-morrow you will hear the sound of the bell that tolls your father to his death. You will almost see the smoke that rises from the funeral pile. I leave you to yourself. It is yet in my power to save him. Think whether you can stand to-morrow's horrors without shrinking!
I agree with Ambrosio in opinion on the subjects you have just mentioned.

The same friends, Ambrosio and Onuphrio, who were my companions at Rome in the winter, accompanied me in the spring to Naples.
The monastery was set on fire, as I have told you but the doors had all been previously locked within, it is supposed by one of the monks named Ambrosio, who was subject to fits of insanity with the tragic result that he and Varillo perished in the flames, there being no possibility of rescue." "Then the guillotine is saved unnecessary soiling," said Sovrani fiercely.
I am pleased with your views; they coincide with those I had formed at the time my imagination was employed upon the vision of the Colosaeum, which I repeated to you, and are not in opposition with the opinions that the cool judgment and sound and humble faith of Ambrosio have led me since to embrace.
The wine the music the jest the loud laugh all could not drown some bitter reflections. Ever and anon the mirror upon the wall threw back his dark face spoiled and distorted. His success had been dearly purchased his was a sorry triumph. It prospered better with Roblado. Don Ambrosio was one of the guests, and sat beside him.
