Hedwig, early distinguished herself by refusing to marry Emperor Frederick II. She decided to become a bride of heaven instead, founded the Order of Clarissa, entered it herself and eventually died as abbess in the odour of sanctity. St. Agnes was held in great reverence by the citizens of Brüx, is still so held, I hope, for she did them a good turn in 1424.
"My old one, you may believe it or not, but I felt that boy's fingers itching all the time. Finally, I chucked a great lump of clay upon the bench yonder, and I said, 'Here, go ahead; you model her, too. Then then he he said " Le Brux showed signs of choking. He controlled himself, and continued "he said, 'I can't model anything, Maître, unless I feel it first'"
He had noted the glint of interest. He turned on Le Brux. "You'll take no pupil, eh? All right, don't. But you'll take my son. You shall and you will." "I will not," growled Le Brux. "Maître" began Leighton "but whom am I calling Matre? What are you? D'you know what you are?" He shook his finger in Le Brux's face. "You think you're a creator, but you're not.
He's he's not still under the throne?" "I don't know where he is," said Le Brux. "He's not under the throne. I remember, vaguely, it is true, but I remember letting him out. That was this morning. Then I wired to you. Since then I have been laughing myself to death." Leighton continued to wipe his eyes, but Le Brux had sobered down. "Talk about my mighty impersonality before the nude?" he cried.
When at seven o'clock the three sat down at a table which, like everything else that came in contact with Le Brux, seemed a size too small, Leighton said to his guest: "Maître, it has been my endeavor to provide to-night a single essence from each of the five great epochs of modern cookery." "Yes, my child?" said Le Brux, gravely, but with an expectant gleam in his eye.
I could take a pupil to any one of a lot of whipper-snappers that fondle clay, but my son I bring to you. Why? Because you are the greatest living sculptor? No. No great sculptor ever made another. If my boy's to be a sculptor, the only way you could stop him would be to choke him to death." "I hadn't thought of that," broke in Le Brux, with a look of relief. "If he bothers me, eh?
Le Brux held up a ponderous hand. "Not too fast," he said. "The lady assures me the babe is still on the bottle. Such being the case, I sent for you. They are inseparable. They have put off falling in love so long that, when they do, it will prove a catastrophe for one of them. Take him away for a while. Distort his concentrated point of view." "That's a good idea," said Leighton.
He knew that such praise from his father must have been weighed a thousand times before it gained utterance. Only from one other man on earth could commendation bring such a thrill. As the name of Le Brux came to his mind, it fell from his father's lips. "Le Brux has been giving me an awful talking to." "Le Brux!" cried Lewis. "Has he been here?" "Only in spirit," said Leighton, smiling.
The intricacies of getting that letter weighed, properly stamped, and posted were too much for Lewis. He sought aid not from Le Brux, but from Cellette. It took him a long time to explain what he wanted. Cellette stared at him. She seemed so stupid about it that Lewis felt like shaking her again, an impulse that, assisted by memory, he easily curbed.
"Ah, mon enfant," sighed Le Brux, folding his hands across his stomach, "thou hast struck me below the belt. Thou knowest that my memory is not so short but what I will dine with thee."
