The Roman generals, Bonifacius, Aetius, Ægidius, Syagrius, at one time fought the barbarians, at another negotiated with such and such of them, either to entice them to take service against other barbarians, or to promote the objects of personal ambition; for the Roman generals also, under the titles of patrician, consul, or proconsul, aspired to and attained a sort of political independence, and contributed to the dismemberment of the empire in the very act of defending it.
I, for one, never held with those who would not believe in Andor's death; there are plenty of folk in the village and Pater Bonifácius is one of them who swear that he will come home one of these days perhaps when Pali bácsi is dead. And then he would find himself the richest man in the Commune," she added, not without a point of malice, "richer even than you, my good Béla."
Charles Martell rewarded him. with extensive domains about Utrecht, together with many slaves and other chattels. Soon afterwards he was consecrated Bishop of all the Frisians. Thus rose the famous episcopate of Utrecht. Another Anglo-Saxon, Winfred, or Bonifacius, had been equally active among his Frisian cousins. His crozier had gone hand in hand with the battle-axe.

As for the Stork, its very rooms were named in remembrance of the envoys and merchant traders who flocked to it on all great occasions.
"Why do you keep the door open?" she asked sharply, "were you expecting anybody to come in?" "Only you, mother, and Pater Bonifácius is coming after vespers," replied the girl. "I stopped outside for a bit of gossip with Mariska just now. Could you hear what she said?" "Yes, mother. I did hear something of what Mariska said." "About Béla?" "About him yes."
She had been able to tell Pater Bonifácius exactly what was troubling her that sense of peace, almost of relief, which had descended into her soul when she heard that she never, never need be Erös Béla's wife.
