Upon hearing this Sisa breathed more freely and answered, "Sir, it has been many days since I've seen Crispin. I expected to see him this morning at the convento, but there they only told me "
I'll look after the convento to settle some old scores with the curate." "And we'll take care of the barracks to show the civil-guards that our father had sons." "How many of us will there be?" "Five, and five will be enough. Don Crisostomo's servant, though, says there'll be twenty of us." "What if you don't succeed?" "Hist!" exclaimed one of the shadows, and all fell silent.
The wretched girl arose, prayed, wept, called upon her mother, upon death, and there was even a moment when, overcome with terror, if it had not been night-time, she would have run straight to the convento, let happen what would.

'St Thomas was the favourite preacher of Charles V., and was created Archbishop of Valencia, where he seemed to spend the whole of his revenues in charity, yet never contracted any debt, so that his people used to believe that angels must minister to his temporal wants.
Father Aguado was next tortured in one of the rooms of the convento. Villa finished the day's work by announcing to the band of priests that he would have them all shot the next day on the plaza, and ordering them to get ready.
