"No, the loveliest rose of the world I saw at the altar of the Lord," said the good old Bishop. "I saw it shine as if an angel's face had appeared.

At last the violet pennons that trailed nearest to me vibrated; they were gently pushed aside, and the form floated out into the broad light. It was a female human shape.
