Above all, he was excited about the little boys. His own kind had never come in his way before, his chief playfellow being Amice, who was so much older as to play with him condescendingly and always give way to him. There was a large family in a neighbouring lodging containing what he respectfully called 'big knicker-bocker boys, who excited his intense admiration, and drew him like a magnet.
Better look if he's among our lot. You would know him better than we would. They're all down yonder. I must go and see after Amice Le Couteur. We left him bleeding at Eperquerie. Get anything you want from our people, Tourtel. Krok, you come along with us;" and we set off over the hill past La Jaspellerie to get to La Vauroque.
His features were half wistful as he held Drusus by the hand, but his eyes were kindly as ever to the young man. "Ah, amice!" he said, "we who play at philosophy may not know all the time that there are gods, but at all times we know that there is the most godlike of divine attributes love undefiled. Therefore let us hope, for we see little, and the cosmos is past finding out."
"Thus, for instance, the surplice and alb signify innocence; the cord that serves as a girdle is an emblem of chastity and modesty; the amice, of purity of heart and body the helmet of salvation mentioned by Saint Paul.
The bones, hastily gathered, he placed, awefully but without ceremony, in a hollow space prepared secretly within the grave of another. A singular guest was expected at Auxerre. On the day of his reception he presented himself at the entrance of the choir in surplice and amice, worn over the military habit.
"It's what was in my mind. I'll see Amice Le Couteur at once." "B'en! and give the word to all you see, George," she called after him. "And bid the women and children to the Gouliots if they hear they are coming the upper chamber above the black rock. It won't be just hide-and-seek this time." "Good idea!" Uncle George called back over his shoulder. "Common sense," said Aunt Jeanne.
"All the more reason why you should go with us now," she argued. "Us?" "Aunt Amice always calls by for papa. He is one of the vestrymen of the Cathedral, you know, but he'd never go if aunty did not come for him. We share the same pew. But it's a large one. There'll be room for you." "Not in the same pew with your aunt and father," rejoined Blake.
When they were in full assembly, Lothaire introduced the miller, bidding him say whether the knight-errant was present. The man fixed his eyes on the Count of Anjou, who wore a cassock of coarse gray wool over his armor. "Yes," he said, "'tis he a la grise gonnelle." It is also said that Geoffrey took his name from his frequent pilgrimages to Rome, in which he wore the gray "palmer's amice."
'I'll bet he's just been up to some mischief! Come on, you scamp, since his reverence is afraid I might dirty our Lord! On seeing the lad, Abbe Mouret had taken up the amice. He kissed the cross embroidered in the centre of it, and for a second laid the cloth upon his head; then lowering it over the collar-band of his cassock, he crossed it and fastened the tapes, the right one over the left.
Lady Chetwynd assured me he has been presented at Court, and you know the strictness of Queen Mary." "You admit that Lord Avondale is, shall I say perfect. Yet " "He is irreproachable, my dear, except as regards his extraordinary insistence upon an intimate friendship with that man." "That is what confirms my good opinion of him, Aunt Amice." "That!" "It proves he is himself manly and sincere."
