To-day there is but little worth seeing in this seventeenth-century church, a St. Augustine by Botticelli, a St. Jerome and two large frescoes by Domenico Ghirlandajo, but in the old refectory of the convent, which has now become a barracks, is Domenico Ghirlandajo's fresco of the Last Supper.
"Mother's got to be kept still and not see anybody but us, or she'll be sick. I ain't goin' to have anybody come talkin' to her to-day," said Jerome, with his eyes still fixed upon Paulina Maria's face. Paulina Maria was like a soldier whose courage is invincible in all tried directions.
I've thought o' sellin' him a many times, for Mrs. Jerome can't abide him; and what do I want wi' two nags? But I'm fond o' the little chacenut, an' I shouldn't like to sell him. So if you'll only ride him for me, you'll do me a kindness you will, indeed, Mr. Tryan. 'Thank you, Mr. Jerome. I promise you to ask for him, when I feel that I want a nag.

About festivals they seem to follow the usage current in the days of Jerome: better, I think, than the modern calendar, full of saints-days which end in riot and carouse, and on which the honest journeyman is forbidden to work for his children's bread. As Slechta read these words, he must surely have felt as did Balak, the son of Zippor, when he listened to the seer from Mesopotamia taking up his parable upon Israel in the plains of Moab.
The mantle of the departed, that, whether they will or not, covers those that stand nearest, was over him, and he had henceforth to walk under it. The next morning Paulina Maria and Belinda Lamb returned to finish preparations, and Jerome was sent over to the West Corners to notify some relatives there of the funeral service.
