There he learned that 2000 French were encamped at a village, a mile from the bridge at Miranda. But one of the peasants, on Leon's telling him that he was a lieutenant of Moras, offered to guide them to a ford, of whose existence he did not think the French were aware.
The late bishop had viewed with no very friendly eyes some of Luis de Leon's proceedings before the Valladolid trial, and it might have troubled him to think that Luis de Leon was destined to follow him at Salamanca. That, however, was what happened. The position was not carried without a stiff fight.
Briefly, but with remarkable precision, Marguerite recounted the various incidents which had occurred her useless journey to the Rue d'Ulm, Madame Leon's strange midnight ramble and conversation with the Marquis de Valorsay, Madame de Fondege's letter, and lastly, her visit and all that she had said.
Leon gave her a rapid, searching glance, in which disappointment was mingled, but before he could reply there was the sound of music. It was a sweet, bird-like voice which floated through the rooms, and the song it sang was a favorite one of St. Leon's, who was passionately fond of music.
The official calificadores took a serious view of Luis de Leon's opinions on the authority of the Vulgate; they showered reports upon the judges; naturally these reports did not always agree with one another, but they were unanimous in one respect; they declared against the teaching of Luis de Leon, and this perhaps decided the tribunal in giving judgement.
Of course there was no further excuse for Hugh keeping that grip on Leon's shoulder, so he released his hold, and the other gave a sigh as of relief at this evidence of a change in policy on the part of his captor. "Say, I wish you'd do me a great favor, Hugh," Leon went on to say, as though he believed in the old maxim that it is wise to "strike while the iron is hot."
He was a dandy in the care of his Soul, and tricked himself out to catch the eye of High Heaven. The Marquis de Mogente was out. He had crossed the Plaza, the servant thought to say a prayer in the Cathedral. On the suggestion of the servant, the Sarrions decided to wait until Leon's return. "I can say a prayer myself," he said humbly.
It also showed Dickson the figure of Dougal, and more than one Die-Hard in the background. The light went out as suddenly as it had appeared. There was a whistle and a hoarse "Come on, men," and then for two seconds there was a desperate silent combat. It ended with Leon's head meeting the floor so violently that its possessor became oblivious of further proceedings.
"Well, man" the farmer seemed nettled "why not speak out and say thou art promised to old Lesage's daughter?" "Because I am not promised to her." Marie stifled a sob. It seemed as if her heart could not much longer hold in its agitation, she longed so intensely for the farmer's next question and for Léon's answer. "Art thou promised to the beauty of the market, the little Marie?"
He was taken prisoner by his humane brother, had his eyes burnt out for the pains he had taken, and died a few years later. Not long after, Alfonso VII. was crowned Emperor of Spain in the church of San Isidoro, an event which marks the climax of Leon's fame and wealth.
