He placed the Pope and himself in safety, and then went to Gaeta to play the part of Secretary of State in partibus. From this exile dates his omnipotence over the will of the Holy Father, his reinstatement in the esteem of the Austrians, and the consistency in his whole conduct. Since then no more contradictions in his political life.
Pythagoras, Alcmeon, Democritus, Diogenes of Apollonia, are all credited with anatomical and physiological investigations; and, though Aristotle is said to have belonged to an Asclepiad family, and not improbably owed his taste for anatomical and zoological inquiries to the teachings of his father, the physician Nicomachus, the "Historia Animalium," and the treatise "De Partibus Animalium," are as free from any allusion to medicine as if they had issued from a modern biological laboratory.
So it was that Sir George Arthur, a Tory governor in partibus infidelium, was driven into panic by Durham's frank criticisms, and expounded to Normanby, his Whig chief, fears not altogether baseless: "The bait of responsible government has been eagerly taken, and its poison is working most mischievously.... The measure recommended by such high authority is the worst evil that has yet befallen Upper Canada": and again, "since the Earl of Durham's Report was published, the reform party, as I have already stated, have come out in greater force not in favour of the Union, nor of the other measures contemplated by the Bill, that has been sent out to this country, but for the daring object so strenuously advocated by Mackenzie, familiarly denominated responsible government."
I must find time, however, whether the press and the compositors are in a fury or not, to mention that the Pope, in his farewell audience to his dear daughter, whom he was to see no more, gave her a general license to wear henceforth in all countries even in partibus Infidelium a cavalry officer's dress boots, spurs, sabre, and sabretache; in fact, anything that she and the Horse Guards might agree upon.
Apparently they supposed that the civil authority in Connecticut might claim the right, and exercise the power, to forbid a bishop to come within the limits of the State, and to set him adrift with "the wide world before him where to choose," a veritable bishop in partibus, without home, habitation, or name.
Thirty-nine, corrected Veronica, who was past forty-five. Reason the more. That is true, Monsieur le Curé, but I began early. At fifteen I went to the Abbé Braqueminet's. I was acquainted with a Braqueminet, who was Bishop in partibus. A very worthy prelate. That he is, sir; he went to America. Come! this is too much, Veronica; you want to make a fool of me.
And we know from him that more than a year ago something was contemplated. The son gave up his living then; he has remained at Rome ever since. And now I am told he returns to us, the Pope's legate and an archbishop in partibus!" "It is most interesting," said Lady Montfort. "I was always his great admirer." "I know that; you and Lady Roehampton made me go and hear him.
"Take care you don't knock over the candlestick." The scene was lighted by a single candle placed between two rails of the staircase. "Cornoiller," said Grandet to his keeper in partibus, "have you brought your pistols?" "No, monsieur. Mercy! what's there to fear for your copper sous?" "Oh! nothing," said Pere Grandet.
He afterwards reaped the reward of his friendly services, for when the duc d'Aiguillon had displaced the duc de Choiseul, he bestowed on M. de la Ville the title of <director of foreign affairs>, an office created for him, and the bishopric <in partibus> of Tricomie. The good abbe did not, however, long enjoy his honours, but ended his career in 1774.
She had her own confessor, chaplin, almoner, and even spiritual director; but this last performed his functions in partibus. The Marquis-Abbe d'Aigrigny continued in reality to be her spiritual guide; and it is almost unnecessary to say that for a long time past their mutual relations as to flirting had entirely ceased.
