"I have yielded to the persuasions of two ladies, Dona Leonor and the Senora Markham, to ask you to see them for a moment," he said to Senor Perkins. "Shall it be so? I have told them the hour is nearly spent." "You have told them NOTHING MORE?" asked the Senor, in a whisper unheard by Hurlstone. "No." "Let them come, then."
We must return once more to the unhappy Leonor de Cisneros. She was seated on a rough bench in her dungeon beneath the halls of the Inquisition. One gleam of light only was admitted by a small aperture, leading into a courtyard, far above her head. The gleam fell on her marble countenance, pale as that of one who has ceased to breathe.
I will die with my husband," exclaimed Leonor; but before she could say more a gag was thrust into her mouth, and she was surrounded by friars and familiars, so as to conceal her from the public view. The look Herezuelo cast towards Leonor was the last he gave her on earth. Not another was allowed him.
"Have you become sensible of your errors? and are you prepared to recant them?"

Dona Leonor approached the Bishop with downcast looks.
John the Baptist, his second wife, Queen Maria like the first, Queen Isabel, a daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella and the aunt of his third wife, Leonor. These figures are evidently portraits, and even if they were flattered show that they were not a handsome couple.
"Are you aware that the Bible is prohibited to the laity, and that, were it not so, it is not susceptible of any private interpretation?" asked the Inquisitor.
