Gabriel had known him from his childhood; he was, to use his own expression, like a private soldier of the church, who by reason of his years and services had attained the rank of sergeant, but who could rise no further. When Luna first entered the seminary Don Antolin had just been ordained priest, and since then had passed his life in the sacristy of the Primacy where he had begun as acolyte.
Greatorex was not yet dead of his pneumonia. The doctor had passed the Vicarage gate. And as he passed he had said to himself. "How execrably she plays." The three sisters waited without a word for the striking of the church clock. The church clock struck ten. At the sound of the study bell Essy came into the dining-room. Essy was the acolyte of Family Prayers.
His new companions, at the head and in the rear of the long procession, forced every one, even the Lord Bishop himself, to move apace, bustling along, cross-bearer and acolyte, in their odd little copes, out of the bitter air, which made the jolly life Gaston now entered on, around the great fire of their hall in the episcopal palace, seem all the more winsome. Notre-Dame de Chartres!
"Now," hastily interrupted the Jesuit, on seeing that his acolyte was going astray, "now your thesis would please the ladies; it would have the success of one of Monsieur Patru's pleadings." "Please God!" cried Aramis, transported.
Suzanne, distracted with grief, her brow pressed against the bed, wept bitterly, repeating over and over again the words: "Margot, my poor Margot, my little one!" She had always called her "my little one," while Marguerite's name for the elder was invariably "sister." A footstep sounded on the stairs. The door opened. An acolyte appeared, followed by the aged priest in his surplice.
He crossed the Navy-Yard bridge and rode into Maryland, being joined very soon by Herold. The assassin and his wretched acolyte came at midnight to Mrs.
Wooden benches were placed in line to form an aisle and a number of women and children knelt at the benches, each holding a large unlighted candle. A cardinal in a red robe came down the aisle, accompanied by a surpliced acolyte bearing a cup of oil.
"I did; but when I found the priest would not assist me at first, and admit that the acolyte was a girl, I preferred to let him think I was deceived in giving a fortune to another, and leave it to his own conscience to permit it or frustrate it. I was right.
"Is it a bear, or a brigand?" whispered Francisco, hurriedly, sounding the uttermost depths of his terror in the two words. "It is an eavesdropper," said Juanita, impetuously; "and who and why, I intend to know," and she started towards the thicket. "Do not leave me, good Juanita;" said the young acolyte, grasping the girl's skirt.
If I did not entirely participate in this roseate view, it may have been because Enriquez, although a few years my senior, was much younger-looking, and with his demure deviltry of eye and his upper lip close shaven for this occasion, he suggested a depraved acolyte rather than a responsible member of a family.
