Then she said, "Are you ready to avow when they ask you that in every particular to which the Grand Inquisitor may point you are wrong, and that all that Holy Church through mouth of Holy Office says is right?" I said, "No, Madam! Present Church is not as large as Truth, nor as fair as Beauty." "You may think that, but will you say the other?"
You are so incorrigible and so devoid of conventional morality that, in being fond of you, I wonder at myself." "Conventional morality be damned! I repudiate it utterly," declared the giant calmly. "But tell me about this girl." "I never saw her until a few days back," Brent enlightened his inquisitor.
Eight days afterwards, the wife of Ogier and his other son were burned; so that there was an end of that family. Such are a few isolated specimens of the manner of proceeding in a single district of the Netherlands. The inquisitor Titelmann certainly deserved his terrible reputation.
"It's you finished the sentence! not I! And I've scarcely seen father this week except at breakfast. That's bored me horribly." "What have you really been doing?" "Inquisitor!

"What happened when you went to Tilbury?" Was this young inquisitor his Nell? "I didn't see him.
It was the main object of the government to confirm and extend the institution. The episcopal inquisition, as we have already seen, had been enlarged by the enormous increase in the number of bishops, each of whom was to be head inquisitor in his diocese, with two special inquisitors under him.
The Quaker in old Boston went at the cart's tail, in disgrace, because he followed his conscience; and the Puritan put him there because he followed his conscience. Were both of them right? The inquisitor in Spain put to death hundreds and thousands of people conscientiously; and the hundreds and thousands of people conscientiously went to their deaths. What is conscience, then?
A generous and enlightened nation has been stopped by it on its road to perfection; it has banished genius from a region where it was indigenous, and a stillness like that which hangs over the grave has been left in the mind of a people who, beyond most others of our world, were framed for happiness and enjoyment.
