Ave Maria Lane and Amen Corner, just near, got their names in imitation of Paternoster Row, the Ave Maria, or "Hail, Mary!" being the words used by the angel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin at the Annunciation, and Amen being, of course, the ending to the paternoster, as to most prayers. Not far from St. Paul's is the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow.
This would likewise give him the power of turning every mineral, even the most worthless, into pure gold, as easily as I might turn my spinning-wheel or say a Paternoster.
"Now I want to know how they should be recited: whether three paternosters in succession, three Ave Marias in succession, and three Gloria Patris in succession; or a paternoster, an Ave Maria, and a Gloria Patri together, three times?" "This way: a paternoster three times " "Pardon me, Sister Sipa," interrupted Rufa, "they must be recited in the other way. You mustn't mix up males and females.
If you don't, you don't get the Paternoster ruby" and with a peculiar little laugh "most people would agree to anything for that, my lad." Maillot's interest was now centred upon the conditions; and they at once became a part of the fairy tale of which he was the beggar-transformed-into-a-prince hero so much were they of a nature to add to his elation, rather than provoke objections.

Evans was summoned by his shopman from an adjoining room. Goldsmith announced his name.
The youth was surprised at the anger expressed on the elder mans countenance; and being overawed, he answered all questions without hesitation, unfolding the little he knew about his parentage. Nor had Wolframs instincts deceived him; the tale he heard confirmed his suspicions, and drawing his sword, he slew the youth in cold blood, denying him even a moment in which to repeat a paternoster.
The crusader of Granada and Lepanto, the champion of the ancient Church, was not likely to please the rugged Zealanders who had let themselves be hacked to pieces rather than say one Paternoster, and who had worn crescents in their caps at Leyden, to prove their deeper hostility to the Pope than to the Turk.
In passing the chapel she could and would not resist its strong power of attraction. With bowed head she entered the quiet little sanctuary, repeated a paternoster, and prayed fervently to the Mother of God to restore the clearness of her voice once more.
