Dom Amaral with his wife had gone to the new cathedral to services; their well appointed chairs had scarcely left the court and the gates been bolted behind them when Dom Pedro came from his room.

'Ha, my Lapui! he said, 'Is it not droll that this should be all a lie! All this fine building, and all the other fine buildings of the kind in Paris!
