This threat, however, did not in the least alarm Edith. She was not afraid of the dog. She had already gained the animal's affections by various little acts of kindness. So now, in response to Leon's threats, she held out her hand toward the dog and called him. The dog wagged his tail and made a few steps forward. At this Leon grew infuriated, and tried to set him at Edith.
But inasmuch as she saw fit to go abroad looking so funny, that any one could see she'd be a perfect circus if she were chased, I didn't feel that it was Leon's fault. If, like the little busy bee, she had "improved each shining hour," he never would have done it. Seems to me, she brought the trouble on her own head.
Disney," said the deacon, after they had been ushered into the humble sitting-room, where a wood-fire burned on the hearth; "but I just couldn't stand it any longer. I want to stand bail for your boy, so you can have him home again with you till his trial comes off." Leon's mother looked embarrassed. She twisted her apron in her nervous fingers, and seemed very near the point of tears.
For myself, I would rather snatch a few mouthfuls and go up on deck again; but this would hurt Leon's feelings if he saw it, and he might even consider that he must seek another employer, for that his talents were wasted upon me; so I go through it all with exemplary patience.
Meanwhile Doria, who was better informed as to what was afoot in Madrid than as to what was afoot in Rome, once more interviewed Philip II and urged him to stop Luis de Leon's proceedings. Philip took action.

That he was difficult to deal with personally the Court had opportunities of knowing.
Don't you go on blubbering in this fashion. I don't mind her and you mustn't. Come, you tell her, for she'll keep yelling after you all night till you do." Lieutenant Dudleigh rose at this, and leaned heavily upon Leon's arm. "You were not married to to me," said he at last. "What! Then you too were false all along!" said Edith, in a voice that seemed to come from a broken heart.
"All his efforts to find it having proved useless efforts extending over several years Willoughby put a young nephew of De Leon's, who had recently arrived from Spain, in temporary charge of the estate and returned with his wife to France.
It appears that a lay brother, named Diego de Leon, part of whose business it was to tidy Luis de Leon's cell, stumbled one day upon the original manuscript of the vernacular version of the Song of Solomon, copied it without leave or licence, and allowed so many transcriptions of his copy to be made that it became absolutely impossible for the translator to control or recall them afterwards.
"Fifteen hundred dollars," Leon replied quite firmly. For twenty minutes Abe's figure rose and Leon's fell until they finally met at ten hundred thirty-three, thirty-three. "He's worth it, Abe, believe me," said Leon, as they shook hands on the bargain. "And now let's fix it up right away."
