Count Vasca kept the men from Gibraltar waiting four more days.

Yonah used the time searching for the widow of Bernardo Espina, hoping to find a way to deliver Espina's breviary to his son, as he had promised the physician before the auto de fé that had taken his life.

But the search ended in frustration.

'Estrella de Aranda did come back here with her children,' one of the women in the neighborhood of Espina's former home told Yonah when he inquired. 'After her husband was burned for heresy none of her kinsmen would keep her. We gave them shelter for a little time. Then she went to the Convento de la Santa Cruz to be a nun, and we heard she died there soon after. Mother Church swallowed her children, Marta and Domitila to become nuns also, and Francisco to become a monk. I don't know where they have gone,' she said.
