"Let's have a grand blow out and bury the hatchet with pomp and ceremony. We'll have speeches from both classes, and a perfectly gorgeous feed afterwards. You break the news to your class and I'll endeavor to get my naughty children under control once more. I believe some of them love me a little yet," she smiled. "Of course, they do," said Julia stoutly.
He had nothing to say. "Go out and wash yourself." Pomp came back rather shamefaced, his face restored to its original color. "Now, where is your book?" Pomp looked about him, but, as he took good care not to look where he knew his book to be, of course he did not find it. "I 'clare, Mass' Frank, it done lost," he at length asserted.

He knew enough of English to find that the singing was hopeful and triumphant. Wearied with philosophy and blasé with the pomp of the world, he wished that he had been a villager in New Geneva, and that he might have had the faith to sing of the " land of pure delight Where saints immortal reign," with as much earnestness as his friend Priscilla on the other side of the aisle.
It is the best example there is of the pride of life, 'superbia vitae. I forget the Greek words at the moment; but a bishop whom I happen to know once told me that they mean the exultation of living.

Here Carlos appears, dressed as the Sultan, with much pomp, and Francisco, overwhelmed with terror, speedily relinquishes Julia to his captor. In order to punish her for her intolerable arrogance, Isabella, Francisco's daughter by his former wife, who is designed to wed Antonio, is introduced to a chimney-sweep, Guiliom, masquerading as a noble of high degree.
