Have you imagined that when I sent for Diego Martinez to come to me at Turruegano and instructed him touching the surrender of those two chests of documents, that I did not also instruct him carefully touching the abstraction in the first instance of a few serviceable papers and the renewal of the seals that should conceal the fact that he had tampered with the chests?
Within three days, such haste did they make, my faithful steward stood before me in my prison at Turruegano. You conceive the despair that had overwhelmed me after giving my consent, the consciousness that it was my life I was surrendering with those papers, that without them I should be utterly defenceless. But in the three days that were sped I had been thinking, and not quite in vain.
I was taken to the fortress of Turruegano, and there they came to demand of me the surrender of my papers which the alcalde had failed to discover at my house. I imagined the uneasiness of Philip in dispatching those emissaries. I almost laughed as I refused. Those papers were my buckler against worse befalling me than had befallen already.
