It struck Mark how true this was, and he looked in astonishment at Father Burrowes, who had offered him the key to his action. "Well, we must forget what we heard, my son," said the Father Superior. "Sit down, and let's finish off these letters." "I'm not sure that it oughtn't to be called indecision," said Mark.
No doubt Harvey's example was the immediate cause of Holcombe's associating himself with the little community: but it still says much for Burrowes' powers of persuasion that he should have been able to impress this young Dorset farmer with the serious possibility of leading the monastic life in Ontario. When another year had passed, an opportunity arose of acquiring a better farm in Alberta.
He invited me to lunch, and he was very pleasant; but I never asked him to write to you, nor did he suggest doing so." "Have you any vices?" Father Burrowes asked abruptly. "I don't think what do you mean exactly?" Mark inquired. "Drink?" "No, certainly not." "Women?" Mark flushed. "No." He wondered if he should speak of the episode of St.
He has been running their house in Malta, where he's done some good work. I gave them the land to build a mother house so that they could train people for active service, as it were; but Burrowes keeps chopping and changing and sending untrained novices to take charge of an important branch like Sandgate, and now since Rowley left he talks of opening a priory in Chatsea.
Now, look here, Mr. Deighton," and his tone became slightly irritated, "I'm not surprised that this Mr. de Vere who, whatever he is, is not a scion of any noble English family should impose upon men like Burrowes and the German, but that he should impose on you does rather surprise me. And yet I don't know.
The first day there were Lady Mary Bennet, Miss Burrowes, and Prince Cariati, a banished Neapolitan, in very long-skirted coat, which he holds up by tucking one hand inside behind; good-humoured, and plays all sorts of petits jeux. Mrs. Hope has recovered her beauty, and she and Mr. Hope are as kind as ever, and asked affectionately after you, and so did Henry. Mrs. Hogan, excellent Mrs.
The photograph represented a young man in the irreducible minimum of clothing who crouched painfully, as though stricken with one of the acuter forms of gastritis. "I'll call him over and have him sign it for you," said Mr. Burrowes, before Sally had had time to grasp the fact that this work of art was a gift and no mere loan. "Here, Bugs wantcher."
Then followed questions about which Order he proposed to join; and Mark ashamed to go back on what he had said lest they should think him flippant answered that he thought of joining the Order of St. George. "You know Father Burrowes, who works among soldiers."
Surgeon Burrowes, whom I have before mentioned, had a perfect skeleton of this animal, which, he assured me, differed in nothing from the human, but in the spine, it being curved. This skeleton, I believe, now forms a part of the collection of Surgeon-General Keate.
Mark felt that he could not stay even until the patronal festival. If Brother George or Brother Birinus had broken his vows, he could have borne it more easily, for he had not witnessed their profession; fond he might be of the Prior, but he had worked for human souls under the orders of Brother Anselm. He went to Father Burrowes and begged to leave on Monday.
