Alonso de Villegio, a nephew of Bishop Fonseca's, had been appointed to take charge of the ships returning to Spain; and when he came into the prison the Admiral thought his last hour had come. "Villegio," he asked sadly, "where are you taking me?" "I am taking you to the ship, your Excellency, to embark," replied the other. "To embark?" repeated the Admiral incredulously.

He was a reader of evangelical literature and preached the gospel all over that country, though he had not been baptized. A native missionary went into that region, began preaching and soon afterward gathered a congregation and organized a church in Fonseca's home.

It was on the deck of his own ship, in the harbour of San Lucar, that he knocked down and soundly kicked Ximeno de Breviesca, Fonseca's accountant, whose nagging requisitions had driven the Admiral to fury. After all these years of gravity and restraint and endurance, this momentary outbreak of the old Adam in our hero is like a breath of wind through an open window.

If you should deal with love, with two ounces you may know of Tuscan you can go to Leon the Hebrew, who will supply you to your heart's content; or if you should not care to go to foreign countries you have at home Fonseca's 'Of the Love of God, in which is condensed all that you or the most imaginative mind can want on the subject.

"You are Senior Don Martin Fonseca?" "The same." "Follow me, if it please you, senor, to my master, Lou Roderigo Calderon." Fonseca's face brightened; he obeyed the summons; and in another moment he was in the cabinet of the Sejanus of Spain. Calderon received the young soldier at the door of his chamber with marked and almost affectionate respect.

Here, however, the rude and blunt sincerity of his bearing had so greatly shocked the formal hypocrisies of the court, and had more than once so seriously offended the minister, that his powerful kinsman gave up all thought of pushing Fonseca's fortunes at Madrid, and meditated some plausible excuse for banishing him from court.

It was by this time terribly inflamed and horribly painful, and I seemed to gather, from the grave and anxious look on Fonseca's face, that he regarded it as somewhat serious. He said nothing, however, but gave it a very thorough fomentation, dressed it, and carefully bound it up again.

Calderon's eyes were fixed musingly on the door which closed on Fonseca's martial and noble form. "Great contrasts among men!" said he, half aloud. "All the classes into which naturalists ever divided the animal world contained not the variety that exists between man and man. And yet, we all agree in one object of our being all prey on each other!
