He cannot well have thought that the possession of a Master's degree would strengthen his position as one of the members representing the University of Salamanca on the Committee appointed to report on the projected reform of the calendar. Normally this Committee, of which Medina and Domingo Bañez were also members, would have absorbed much of Luis de Leon's attention.
This deficiency had been made good, as he gives us to understand, previous to March 12, 1573 twenty eight months, or more, before Luis de Leon asked that his copy of Le prose dil Bembo should be given to him in prison. The record of the Valladolid trial likewise reveals to us some of Luis de Leon's intellectual foibles. But these were extremely few.
An attempt is made here to picture the man as he was, full of fortitude, yet not exempt from human weakness. I trust that I have avoided the temptation to go to the opposite extreme, and lay the blame as has been done for the irregularities of the trial at Luis de Leon's own door. In dealing with his Spanish poems, I have tried not to put his claims to consideration too high.
Though withheld so long from the public, Luis de Leon's poems, while still in manuscript, were repeatedly imitated especially by Augustinians. To my way of thinking, he is most nearly approached by his friend Arias Montano. But it should be said that this is not the general verdict. That goes decisively in favour of Miguel Sanchez, el Divino.
He was amazed to find that he could utter falsehoods with such a calm, unblushing face he was astonished at his own audacity. And what a success he had achieved! He felt certain that he had just slipped round M. de Valorsay's neck the noose which would strangle him later on. Still he was considerably disturbed by Madame Leon's visit to the marquis.
We thought he wouldn't be likely to come back for it, and father said he was at loss what to do with it, but Laddie said he wasn't it was Leon's he had earned it; so father said he would try to find out if anything else had been stolen, and he'd keep it a year, and then if no one claimed it, he would put it on interest until Leon decided what he wanted to do with it.
Under this simple constitution the Harmony Society has flourished for sixty-nine years; nor has its life been threatened by disagreements, except in the case of the Count de Leon's intrigue. It has suffered three or four lawsuits from members who had left it; but in every case the courts have decided for the society, after elaborate, and in some cases long-continued trials.
He was perspiring from unaccustomed exertion. "'Pon my soul, though, I feel the same. To think of me messing away my life in a tenth-story office worrying about other people's business and quarrels! What do you keep in this air, Casey? Old Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth?" "I keep some very fair Scotch in a cupboard at the house," Casey responded. "The water is all right now.
With characteristic courage and candour, in his first confesion of March 6, he volunteered the admission that he had made such a rendering. At this moment he was apparently unaware that the existence of this rendering had been already brought to the notice of the Inquisition by Medina. Nobody questions Luis de Leon's good faith.
These words mollified Reginald in some degree, since they showed that, after all, this new trouble might, as Leon said, have arisen from old machinations, as their natural result, and did not necessarily involve any new action on Leon's part. "I'll go," said Reginald, "and you shall go with me; but if I find that you have played me false this time, by Heaven, I'll crush you!"
