"He was Squire Woodcock's friend, wasn't he? The poor Squire! Who would have thought he'd have gone off so suddenly. But apoplexy comes like a bullet." "I was right," thought Israel to himself. "But where does Horne Tooke live?" he demanded again. "He once lived in Brentford, and wore a cassock there. But I hear he's sold out his living, and gone in his surplice to study law in Lunnon."
With an expression of ardent entreaty in which a last gleam of hope tried to assert itself, he raised his eyes to the large painting in which the Cardinal stood forth resplendent in his cassock of red moire; but his attack came back again and overwhelmed him with increased intensity of fever. "Leave me, I beg you, leave me," he gasped. "Don't make me talk any more. Ah! Paparelli, Paparelli!
Having given him the cassock and having admitted him to the refectory, I hardly see any other means of getting rid of him than to send him back to France." In his correspondence with Saint-Vallier, Laval gives an account of the various steps which he was taking at court to maintain the integrity of the diocese of Quebec. This was, for a short time, at stake.
Give it here, gossip, for I make more account of having found it than if they had given me a cassock of Florence stuff." He put it aside with extreme satisfaction, and the barber went on, "These that come next are 'The Shepherd of Iberia, 'Nymphs of Henares, and 'The Enlightenment of Jealousy."

Then, amidst the general mass of grey, neutral hue, there gleamed the violet silk of some bishop's cassock, for each pastor had desired to remain with his flock; whilst members of various religious orders, superiors in brown, black, and white habits, rose up above all others with lofty bearded or shaven heads.
Father Miro was a tiny little man, dark and filthy, with a worn-out cassock, covered with dandruff, and a large dirty square cap with a big rosette. "Will you tell me what you want?" said the little priest in a sullen tone. Caesar introduced himself, and explained in a few words who he was and what he proposed.

Saying this, he cut and thrust at a tall Spaniard. The defence was not long. The Castilian soldiers were no match for the French officers, and not one of them had time or courage to recharge his carbine.
The new curé had been fidgeting impatiently during this speech, and his face had turned very red. "I shall soon have all that changed," he said, abruptly, as soon as the other priest had finished speaking; and he looked like an angry child in his worn but spotless cassock, so thin and small was he.
