It was at this moment that the Christmas spirit fled in despair from Calvary Alley and took refuge in the big cathedral where, behind the magnificent new window, a procession of white-robed choir-boys, led by Mac Clarke, were joyously proclaiming: "Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King;"
Among the rebellious boys are our best singers, and particularly young Anana, who leads the voices of the choir-boys. "I will examine the silly fellows at once. Rameri Rameses' son was among the young miscreants?" "He seems to have been the ring-leader," answered Septah. Ameni looked at the old man with a significant smile, and said: "The royal family are covering themselves with honor!
Elsie was indignant, even angry; but before she could protest, Mrs. Middleton went on. "Instead of which, she started work at the library the first thing and has been off and on ever since, and is now going to do it permanently, besides teaching a class in the Sunday-school, looking after the choir-boys, running errands for you, and what not."
"I knocked," she explained apologetically to the Boarder, "but no one heard me. Are the family all away?" "They are in the woodshed. Walk right out," he urged hospitably. Colette stepped to the door and, on opening it, gazed in bewilderment at the disrobing choir. "These are not St. Mark's choir-boys, are they?" she asked wonderingly. Mrs. Jenkins felt herself growing weak-kneed.
It was Corpus Christi Day: the bells were ringing and the procession moving through the fields, the holy banners waving, the choir-boys singing the sanctus, when just as the priest lifted the Host in the golden monstrance, a shot was fired from the bushes in front of a crucifix. Lightning flashed from heaven, and the house of the wicked Hochmair, which was at no great distance, burst into flames.
We pass beneath him and enter the first vast and lofty hall, dimly lighted, in the corners of which gleam gilded idols, bells, and incomprehensible objects of religious use. Quaint little creatures, choir-boys or pupils, come forward with a doubtful welcome to ask what is wanted. "Matsou-San!! Dondta-San!!" they repeat, much astonished, when they understand to whom we wish to be conducted.
Then, as she advanced slowly towards the choir, the anthem, "I was glad" was sung, and after that, the sweet-voiced choir-boys of Westminster chanted like so many white-gowned, sleek-headed angels, "Vivat Victoria Regina!"
Mass was saying at a side altar as we entered, and the music of stringed instruments and the shrill voices of choir-boys pierced the spaces here and there, but no more filled them than the immemorable plastic and pictorial facts: than a certain very lively bishop kneeling on his tomb and looking like George Washington; or than a St.
As in the pauses he heard the volume of sound that seemed quivering and swaying among the tree-trunks, like the confined air in an organ, he was awed into silence. "Whist, ye son of Patrick McFadden; don't ye hear the responses all around ye, as if the spirits were in the organ loft, thinkin' ye a praist and thimselves the choir-boys.
Malcolm grew quite white when he saw Elizabeth looking like a widow in her deep mourning and crape veil, leaning on Mr. Carlyon's arm. She had chosen the two hymns that David's favourite choir-boys were to sing "For all the saints who from their labours rest," and "How bright those glorious spirits shine."
