ISABELLA OF SPAIN On the afternoon following his first visit, Castell's agent, Bernaldez, arrived again at the prison of the Hermandad at Seville accompanied by a tailor, a woman, and a chest full of clothes.

The governor ordered these two persons to wait while the garments were searched under his own eye, but Bernaldez he permitted to be led at once to the prisoners.

As soon as he was with them he said: "Your marquis has been married fast enough." "How do you know that ?" asked Castell.
"From the woman Inez, who arrived with the priest last night, and gave me the certificates of his union with Betty Dene signed by himself.

I have not brought them with me lest I should be searched, when they might have been taken away; but Inez has come disguised as a sempstress, so show no surprise when you see her, if she is admitted.

Perhaps she will be able to tell the Dona Margaret something of what passed if she is allowed to fit her robes alone.
