It is not too much to state that the only serene face in the streets was that of Evasio Mon, who went on his way with the absorbed smile which is usually taken in England to indicate the Christian virtues, and is associated as often as not with Dissent. The men of Lérida a simpler, more agricultural race than the Navarrese were disturbed; and, indeed, these were stirring times in Spain.
The clear morning light brought out the wrinkles and the crow's-feet with inexorable distinctness on his keen narrow face. "What does it mean?" he asked at length, folding the letter and replacing it in the pocket from which he had taken it. Marcos roused himself with an effort. He was sleepy. "I think it means that Evasio Mon is about," he answered.
It is, indeed, only by tying the tongue that tyranny can hope to live. "These promenades are not without use," the Mother Superior once said to Evasio Mon, one of the lay directors of this school. "One discovers what friendships have been formed." But the Mother Superior, like many cunning persons, was wrong.
Juanita moved her toe within her neat black slipper, looking at it critically. She was waiting for Evasio Mon. He paused as a duellist may pause with his best weapons laid out on the table before him, wondering which one to select. Perhaps he suspected that Juanita held the keenest; that deadly plain-speaking.
As often as not he was the first to bring the news of war to a people who have scarcely known peace these hundred years. The teller of news cannot help telling with his tidings his own view of them; and Evasio Mon made it known that in his opinion all who had a grievance could want no better opportunity of airing it.
He died without the consolation of the Church. It is that that I think of." "Yes," said Sarrion rather coldly, "you naturally would." A PILGRIMAGE Evasio Mon was a great traveler.
"You will stay the night," said Sarrion to Evasio Mon. "No, my friend. Thank you very much. I cherish a hope of getting through the lines to-night to Pampeluna. I came indeed to offer my poor services as escort to these ladies who will surely be safer at Pampeluna." "Then you think that they will besiege Torre Garda," asked Sarrion, innocently. "One never knows, my friend one never knows.
"But," she said, "if the fortune is my own; if I prefer that Marcos should have it to the church?" Evasio Mon smiled gently. "Of course," he murmured. "That is what I said to Leon, and to Sor Teresa also, who naturally is troubled about you. Though there are other alternatives. Neither Marcos nor the Church need have it.
Evasio Mon reflected for a moment; then he turned to Sarrion with his ready smile. "Do you come here to see me?" he whispered. "I want you to get Juanita de Mogente away from this as quickly as possible," returned Sarrion in a whisper. "We need not disturb the service." "But, my friend," protested Mon, still smiling, "by what right?" "That you must ask of Marcos."
"Yes," admitted Sarrion, who having a quick and eager mind, understood that Juanita was preparing to speak plainly. And at such times women always speak more plainly than men. He lighted a cigarette, threw away the match with a little gesture which seemed to indicate that he was ready for her would meet her on her own ground. "Why did Evasio Mon want me to go into religion?" she asked bluntly.
