But daily, before he painted, Sandro knelt in a dark chapel in Santa Croce, while a blue-chinned priest said mass for the repose of Simonetta's soul.

When I came up to the hat manufactory, Smethurst himself was standing in the garden gate. He was brushing one Canadian felt hat, and several others had been put to await their turn one above the other on his own head, so that he looked something like the typical Jew old-clothesman.
The old-clothesman, who by some strange oversight died in his bed, was floated up on the incense of this devout service to show his hands, and marvel! Saint Catherine, the "amorosa sposa" of Heaven, reigned in his stead.
He shouted, chattered, and pointed to his wares, but without success; then he had a long chat with an old-clothesman, whose establishment was on the opposite side of the alley; and at last, recollecting that, all this time there was a customer in his shop, he turned his back upon the public and walked in.

I have often, I said, fancied that, besides the load of exuvial coats and breeches under which he staggers, there is another weight on him an atrior cura at his tail and while his unshorn lips and nose together are performing that mocking, boisterous, Jack-indifferent cry of "Clo', clo'!" who knows what woeful utterances are crying from the heart within?
