Ivanhoe crossed himself, repeating prayers in Saxon, Latin, or Norman-French, as they occurred to his memory, while Richard alternately said, "Benedicite", and swore, "Mort de ma vie!" In the meantime, a horrible noise was heard below stairs, some crying, "Secure the treacherous monks!" others, "Down with them into the dungeon!" others, "Pitch them from the highest battlements!"
He heard the supper gong sounding: he knew his way to the door well enough; he entered the familiar hall with a benedicite, and without any more words took his place. You might have thought for a moment that the gray friar trembled and his shrunken cheek looked deadly pale; but he recovered himself presently: nor could you see his pallor for the cowl which covered his face.
"Go to thou art a fool," said the Templar; "thy superstition is upon a level with Front-de-Boeuf's want of faith; neither of you can render a reason for your belief or unbelief." "Benedicite, Sir Templar," replied De Bracy, "pray you to keep better rule with your tongue when I am the theme of it.
Behind this wicket sat the portress, a venerable nun, whom age and obesity had consigned to this sedentary occupation. "Benedicite, good Mother Veronique! How are all within the house?" inquired Sister Josephine, going up to the wicket. "The saints be praised, all are well! They are just going in to matins. You come in good time, my sisters!
Paul was stirred by the scene as never before by any devotional services and in spite of his eager desire to learn more about the dark-eyed lady, all through the prayers and responses he was rapt as in some mystic spell.

Brown of exclusive St. Thomas', New York, murmuring "Benedicite!" over an international marriage ceremony, his handsome face and melodious voice and aristocratic bearing doing full justice to the grandeur of the occasion it is a contrast in which there is a bitter humor, a farce in which there is something horrible, a comedy that smells of the charnel house.

"Yes, yes," said the brothers, without explaining to themselves her meaning. "The first of you to whom Madame d'Hauteserre speaks to-night at table after the Benedicite, shall be my husband. But neither of you must practise fraud or induce her to answer a question."
I had not taken my eyes off Morhange, who was still standing. "Major, gentlemen, you will allow me," he said. And before sitting down at that table, where every moment he was the life of the party, in a low voice, with his eyes closed, Captain Morhange recited the Benedicite.

The Bishop's uplifted fingers brought the nuns to their knees; but they rose at once to their feet again and crowded behind Mother Sub-Prioress as, taking a step forward, she hastened to explain the situation.
