He also stated that the Emperor had made the young Princess sing to him, a Capucin monk; and added genially that she was comely and graceful, and that he had been very pleased to see her. The King was very merry at this priest's expense. Not so the Queen, who was Spanish, and particularly devoted to Capucin friars of all nationalities. Moliere. Racine. Their Mutual Esteem. Racine in Mourning.
Romauld, the founder of the order of Camaldoli, praying by night at that altar, saw in a vision St. Apollinare, who bade him leave the world, and become the founder of an order of hermits. It was on the same stones that the knees of St. Romauld had pressed, that the Capucin was kneeling, as Paolina walked up the nave of the church.
If she succeeded he advised her to dine at the Capucin, where there was very good eating. She turned away with livid lips; he called after her: "Bring some dessert with you, for I love cake. And perhaps you can induce your friend to give me an old coat, for I swear it is cold tonight." Gervaise, with this infernal mirth ringing in her ears, hurried down the street.
They live chiefly on vegetable food, but they devour insects and eggs, and do not object to a bird when they can manage to catch one. The colour is sometimes of a deep brown, and at others of a purple-black, while occasionally it has a chestnut tint. The hair of the common capucin is of a golden olive, with white fur bordering the face.
The traveller Minutius had returned with Coptic service-books, and Peiresc, captivated with a new branch of learning, established an agency for Eastern books at Smyrna.

The remarkable story of Angélique’s conversion by the preaching of a Capucin friar in 1608, her strange contest with her parents which followed, the strengthening impulses in different directions which her religious life received, first from the famous St Francis de Sales, and finally, and especially, from the no less remarkable Abbé de St Cyran, all belong to the history of Port Royal, and cannot be detailed here.
They are nearly ruinous, but are still or were till within a few years inhabited by one Capucin friar, and one lay brother of the order, whose duty it was to mutter a mass, with ague-chattering jaws, at the high altar, and act as guardians of the building. Small guardianship is needed.
You breakfast, dine and sup there; and in place of coffee being the sole or leading article of consumption, an infinite variety of drinks is now at the disposal of the thirsty wayfarer. Mocha, that product of the East the preparation of which, like the making of bread, is the stumbling-block of housekeepers in both hemispheres, is served in three ways as a capucin, a mazagran or a demi-tasse.
After this I heard the "General of the Capucins" announced, who had just been to pay a visit of greeting to the German Court. He was said to be by birth a Roman. Strange to say, for that Capucin the same ceremony and fuss was made as for a sovereign prince, and I heard that this was a time-honoured privilege enjoyed by his Order.
