I hear that my son, the emperor, has forbidden his subjects to kneel to him; they shall not, therefore, kneel to me, for he is right. To God alone belongs such homage. Rise, therefore, Father Aloysius; the brothers of the holy order of Jesus must never kneel, to fellow-mortal. And you, Counsellor Bundener, rise also, and stand erect.
But he would have none of me nor of what he calls my 'vulgar wealth. This is a case in point where wealth is useless! You see?" Don Aloysius was silent. "Then" Morgana went on "Alison is right. The witchery of the Northern Highlands is in my blood, never a love for me alone I am alone I must be! never a love for a 'fey' woman!" Over the priest's face there passed a quiver as of sudden pain.
These ideas flitted vaguely across his mind as he watched his fair hostess talking, now to Don Aloysius, now to Lady Kingswood, and sometimes flinging him a light word of badinage to rally him on what she chose to call his "sulks." "He can't get over it!" she declared, smiling "Poor Marchese Giulio! That I should have dared to steer my own air-ship was too much for him, and he can't forgive me!"
Willis also was gone, on a different errand: he had bid adieu to his mother and brother soon after Charles had gone into the schools, and now was Father Aloysius de Sanctâ Cruce in the Passionist Convent of Pennington. One evening, at the end of September, in the year aforesaid, Campbell had called at Boughton, and was walking in the garden with Miss Reding.
I'll have them all christened at once by Father Burke, over at St. Mary's, and I came here to ask you two things. First, knowing the liking you have for the child, I ask you will you be godmother to Ignatius Aloysius?" Miss Bailey felt unable to cope, all unaided, with these sudden and bewildering changes. Isidore christened and Christianized! Isidore her godchild!
Wasn't she the first girl that Sister Mary Aloysius picked out of the school when the young lady from England came over to teach us? She was the best worker they had. 'It's true what she says, said Onny. 'I was the best worker they had. I worked for them for three years, and all I was getting at the end of it was six shillings a week.
You knew that I was compelled to turn the ship homeward because it was not allowed to proceed! Dear Father Aloysius, you cannot hide yourself from me! You are one of the few who have studied the secrets of the approaching future, the 'change' which is imminent the 'world to come' which is coming!
"I will restore order to my household before another day has passed. And now, gentlemen, what brings you hither? Speak, Father Aloysius." "My conscience, your majesty," replied Father Aloysius, fervently. "I cannot stand by and see the hailstorm of corruption that devastates our unhappy country. I cannot see Austria flooded with the works of French philosophers and German infidels.
Nature is the best talker, for the very reason that she has no speech!" The party broke up in twos and threes and left the loggia for the garden. Rivardi remained a moment behind, obeying a slight sign from Aloysius. "She is not happy!" said the priest "With all her wealth, and all her gifts of intelligence she is not happy, nor is she satisfied. Do you not find it so?"
One bright sunny morning, after a week of her self-imposed seclusion, she announced her intention of calling at the monastery to see Don Aloysius. "I have been rather rude" she said "Of course he has wanted to know how my flight to the East went off! and I have given no sign and sent no message."
