"Something new always catches a silly girl's fancy!" said he. But Doucebelle had no scruple about hurting his feelings, since she did not believe in their existence. So when her turn came, she knelt down in Bruno's confessional. At first she wondered if he were about to prove like Father Nicholas, for he did not ask her a single question till she stopped of herself.
On my part, I taught the girls such simple hymns as the one commencing "Une nacelle en silence," which I had learnt at Sunday-school in Switzerland. It is interesting to note that this was Bruno's favourite air. Poor Bruno! he took more or less kindly to all songs except the Swiss jodellings, which he simply detested.
She is dear as any thing in this dreary world, but He is dearer than the world and all that is in it. If I may not do this, let me say farewell, and see her no more." "Thou hast spoken to her of the Nazarene?" asked Abraham in a low tone. "I have," was Bruno's frank reply. "Thou hast taught her the Christian faith?" "So far as I could do it." Belasez stood trembling.
I have not, however, compared the English translation with the original, and must reserve a fuller examination of Giordano Bruno's teaching for another opportunity. Spinoza disbelieved in the world rather than in God. He was an Acosmist, to use Jacobi's expression, rather than an Atheist.
This much will give a good idea of Bruno's thoroughness. Altogether, Gurlt, in his "History of Surgery," gives about fifteen large octavo pages of rather small type to a brief compendium of Bruno's teachings. One or two other remarks of Bruno are rather interesting in the light of modern developments in medicine.
Buffalmacco commended Bruno's counsel and Calandrino fell in therewith; wherefore they agreed to go seek for the stone all three on the following Sunday morning, and Calandrino besought them over all else not to say a word of the matter to any one alive, for that it had been imparted to him in confidence, and after told them that which he had heard tell of the land of Bengodi, affirming with an oath that it was as he said.
But before the evening was over, Beatrice found there was one Christian who could enter into all her feelings. She was slowly crossing the ante-chamber in the twilight, when she found herself intercepted and drawn into Bruno's arms. "My darling!" he said, tenderly. "I am sent to thee with heavy tidings."
When breakfast was over and their guests had gone to their rooms to make ready to meet the train, Jane decoyed the captain away to Bruno's kennel, where he was tied during Mr. Van Ness's stay. Once out of sight she retied his cravat, arranged his white hair to her liking, stroked his sunken cheeks. Here was something actual and real.
She told him of the problem she had with Bruno's further education, because the lessons he had been having from the Rector would end in the fall, and of her firm intention of keeping him from living together with his two present comrades. The three had never yet come together without bringing as a result some mean deed on one side and an explosion of rage on the other.
Once more Bruno's face was convulsed. "Just eighteen!" he said. "Yes Licorice's child! Yet she had no pity. Aye me just eighteen!" "Do you know my mother?" said Belasez in accents of mingled surprise and curiosity. "I did eighteen years ago." And Bruno rose hastily, as if he wished to dismiss the subject.
