The Archimandrite had an audience that lasted about a quarter of an hour, to which I was not admitted, as the ambassador spoke French and Italian at least as well as myself. On my Grecian's retiring, I was prepared to follow him, but was detained: it was now my turn.
It was known, too, that, for political reasons, the maidens had received a dispensation from the leading Archimandrite, their metropolitan, to marry the proud Paynim. The end, they said, justified the means. 'Jesuitical, said the Earl, shaking his head sadly. 'That is what my friend and partner, Mr. Merton, thought, said Logan, 'when we were applied to by the Sultan.
He informed me he was a Greek prelate, and 'Archimandrite' of Jerusalem; that he had undertaken to make a gathering in Europe for the reestablishment of the Holy Sepulchre, and showed me some very fine patents from the czarina, the emperor, and several other sovereigns.
His sister, the countess, who is living in my section, when I went to discuss the provision of barracks for her workmen, treated me as though I had come to apply for a situation. It mortified me, and I told her a lie, pretending to be a rich man. I told the same lie to the Archimandrite, who refuses to provide quarters for the cases which may occur in the monastery.
I described distinctly and clearly the commission of the Archimandrite; extolled the piety of those princes who had contributed, and to heighten that of their excellencies by emulation, added that less could not be expected from their well known munificence; then, endeavoring to prove that this good work was equally interesting to all Christians, without distinction of sect; and concluded by promising the benediction of Heaven to all those who took part in it.
On leaving the University, a profound theologian, an enthusiastic Churchman, filled with the most earnest sense of the pastor's solemn calling, he was thus complimentarily accosted by the Archimandrite of his college, "What a pity you cannot go into the Church!" "Cannot; but I am going into the Church." "You! is it possible? But, perhaps, you are sure of a living " "Yes, Humberston."
I wished to bid adieu to my poor Archimandrite, for whom I had conceived an attachment, but was not permitted; they sent him word that I was to be detained there, and in quarter of an hour after, I saw my little bundle arrive.
We drank with the proprietor, a huge, yellowish man called Tom Wessels; and when my guides had departed, I asked if he could produce any warrant or petty officer of the Archimandrite. "The Bedlamite, d'you mean 'er last commission, when they all went crazy?" "Shouldn't wonder," I replied. "Fetch me a sample and I'll see." "You'll excuse me, o' course, but what d'you want 'im for?"
From Monday, January 24th, to February 10th, 1876: Rome, Hôtel de Londres, Piazza di Spagna. I swear that all these tragic and jealous remarks about A were written under the influence of romantic reading, and that I only half believed them while I was writing, exciting myself for the pleasure of it, and I greatly regret these exaggerations. The archimandrite has been at our house.
"New ideas always do tend to turn old ideas topsy-turvy. And the world, after all, is only an idea, which is turned topsy-turvy with every successive century." "You make me sick of the word 'ideas. Leave off your metaphysics and study real life." "It is real life which I did study under Mr. Welby. He is the Archimandrite of Realism. It is sham life which you wish me to study.
