However, Tess found at least approximate expression for her feelings in the old Benedicite that she had lisped from infancy; and it was enough. Such high contentment with such a slight initial performance as that of having started towards a means of independent living was a part of the Durbeyfield temperament.
A firm, wise, ruling master-hand may perhaps who knows?" She hesitated and sighed, then added, gently, "Farewell, signor! Benedicite!" and making the sign of the cross as I respectfully bent my head to receive her blessing, she passed noiselessly from the room. One moment later, and a lame and aged lay-sister came to escort me to the gate.
But one or two, who nourished in their bosoms respect for the downfallen hierarchy casting first a timorous glance around, to see that no one observed them hastily crossed themselves bent their knee to Sister Magdalen, by which name they saluted her kissed her hand, or even the hem of her dalmatique received with humility the Benedicite with which she repaid their obeisance; and then starting up, and again looking timidly round to see that they had been unobserved, hastily resumed their journey.
Not an ounce of the ruin is wasted; the lower Fraser wheat-lands are built that way. There's a theme for a master to write a Benedicite. Grinding ice chanting to the thunders of the snow, and the very cedars listening in the valleys. Well, I'll make him a free present of the fancy; we're merely gold miners, or we hope to be. Good-night, and remember the early start to-morrow."
"Hush!" cried Cadoudal. The three men listened. "This time it is probably he," observed Georges. The gallop of a horse could be heard coming from the direction of La Roche-Bernard. "It is certainly he," repeated Coeur-de-Roi. "Then, my friends, leave me alone. You, Benedicite, get to Grandchamp as soon as possible.
"Good even, my son, and benedicite," said the Sub-Prior as he passed; but the rude soldier scarce acknowledged the greeting, by bending his head; and dashing the spurs into his horse, went on at a pace which soon left the monk and his mule far behind.
What day, and at what hour shall I expect you?" Gherardi considered a moment. "I will write," he said at last, "I cannot at this moment fix the time, but I will not fail to give you notice. A riverderci! Benedicite!" And he left her abruptly at the gates, walking rapidly in the direction of the Vatican.
"Ha! so they are giving us back our bishops?" "So it seems; but if they are all like this one, they can keep them." "Who is he?" "Audrein!" "The regicide?" "Audrein the renegade." "When is he coming?" "To-night or to-morrow." "I shall not go to meet him; but let him beware of falling into my men's hands." Benedicite and Coeur-de-Roi burst into a laugh which completed Cadoudal's thought.
The situation was so momentous that after the Benedicite was said Laurence and the young men trembled from the violent palpitation of their hearts. Madame d'Hauteserre, who carved, was struck by the anxiety on the faces of the Simeuse brothers and the great alteration that was noticeable in Laurence's lamb-like features.
They say the good bishop hath called him to order, but what recks he of bishops? Good-day, Brother Bulpett, here be two young kinsmen of Master Birkenholt to visit him; and so benedicite, fair sirs. Saint Austin's grace be with you!"
