Once his little brother had fallen dangerously ill on the festa of San Giorgio, the santo patrono of Castel Vecchio. He had gone to the festa, and had given all his money, five lire, to the saint to heal his brother. Next day the child was well. In misfortune he would probably utter a prayer, or burn a candle, himself.
I grabbed him, Patrono. He broke away and struck me here" he pointed to his still wet bandage "and would have got out overboard through the port, but the second mate heard the row and came down just in time to stop him." "When was this?" asked Senor Perkins. "Guardia di Diana." "You were chattering, you fellows." "Quien sabe?" said the Peruvian, lifting his shoulders.
Mancio's cautious policy was doubtless sound; but to Luis de Leon, who maintained that the matters on which his patrono had to pronounce were as simple as could be, these tactics seemed mistaken, and on January 13, 1575, he begged the Court to press Mancio to give an opinion without delay.
A patrono has no exact counterpart in English ecclesiastical law; it was his business, within narrow limits, to defend the interests of the accused from the theological point of view. On June 26, 1574, Luis de Leon was brought into court, and was told that he was to choose two patronos out of four men whose names were given him.
If appearances were not actually against Luis de Leon, they combined to reveal him in his least attractive posture. His comparative promptitude in accepting Mancio as patrono, his unwillingness to abide by his choice, his sudden hostility to Mancio, his final acceptance of Mancio, are all explicable variations.
For a moment the step taken by Ortiz de Funes and his client appeared to have some slight effect. Luis de Leon was informed that he would be allowed to appoint Perez as his patrono but on two conditions: he must undertake to pay all the travelling expenses of his patrono, and an inquiry must be held to establish the limpieza of Perez.
Four days later the General Inquisition wrote to the same judges, hinting that a decision might be given shortly. The Valladolid Court was stirred into temporary activity. A sitting was held on March 30; Mancio was present; a consultation took place between him and his client; and henceforth we hear no more of difficulties in connexion with Luis de Leon's patrono.
