It was in Magna Græcia rather than in Greece itself that men took interest in women, and it was not until the Alexandrian period, and notably in Asclepiades, Benecke maintains, that the love of women was regarded as a matter of life and death. Thereafter the conception of sexual love, in its romantic aspects, appears in European life.
He ceased to propitiate her; he dropped embarrassment. He ignored her. He became the man of the world and of affairs, whose European interests and relations are not within the ken of raw young ladies from Vermont. He had never been more brilliant, more interesting, more agreeable, for Eleanor, for the Contessa, for Benecke; for all the world, save one.
Did her love for him indeed rest partly on a secret sense of vocation? a profound, inarticulate divining of his vast, his illimitable need for such a one as she to love him? Meanwhile Eleanor and Reggie and Father Benecke waited breakfast on the loggia. They were all under the spell of a common excitement, a common restlessness. Eleanor had discarded her sofa.
Meanwhile, Manisty was rejoined by Father Benecke who had left him for a few minutes to write his letter beside the Paglia, which was rushing down in a brown flood, after the rain of the day before.
'And at last' he resumed, pausing in front of her 'after wandering up and down Italy, I find you in this remote place by the merest chance. Father Benecke said not a word. But what part he has played in it I don't yet understand. In another half-hour I should have been off; and again you would have made the veriest fool of me that over walked this earth.

They liked the Signorina, and they were accustomed to her early walks. On the hill she met Father Benecke coming up to Mass.
I refuse to yield it to you, till I have given you at least a little further time for consideration. I shall stay here a few hours longer. If you change your mind, send to me I am with Father Benecke. If not good-bye! But I warn you that I will be no party to further mystification. It is undesirable for us all. I shall write at once to General Delafield-Muir, and to my aunt.
But now in the general shifting of his life from the standpoint of authority, to the standpoint of conscience, new aspects of the case appeared to him. He recalled certain questions of moral theology, with which as a student he was familiar. The modern discipline of the confessional 'seal' is generally more stringent than that of the middle ages. Benecke remembered that in the view of St.
A step, quick and gentle, overtook them. It was Father Benecke who stopped and greeted them; a venerable figure, as he bared his white head, and stood for a moment talking to Brooklyn under the great sycamore of the courtyard. He had now resumed his clerical dress; not, indeed, the soutane; but the common round collar, and long black coat of the non-Catholic countries.
Ce pauvre Goliath! Ah! he is coming here? She withdrew to her sofa, and waited. Marie, after instructions, and with that austerity of demeanour which she, too, never failed to display towards Father Benecke, introduced the visitor. 'Entrez, mon pere, entrez, said Eleanor, holding out a friendly hand. 'Are you, too, braving the sun? Did you pass Miss Foster?
