It must certainly be the Abbe Cornille leaving the church with the sacred oils, she thought; so she went downstairs, that she might receive him at the door of the house. Two minutes later, the narrow stairway of the little tower was filled with a great murmuring sound.
The first to appear was, of course, the bearer of the Cross, accompanied by his two acolytes with their candelabra; and behind them the Master of the Ceremonies hurried along the good Abbe Cornille, who now seemed quite out of breath and overcome by fatigue.
"Oh, not so beautiful! How can you say that? I have seen it, if it is the Saint George on the chasuble which the Abbot Cornille wore last Sunday. It is a marvellous thing." She blushed with pleasure, but quickly turned the conversation, as she exclaimed: "Hurry and put another stone on the left corner of the sheet, or the wind will carry it away from us again."
Among the dead were Cornille de Noort, brother of the admiral, Melis, Daniel Goerrits, and John de Bremen the captain, Peter Esias, being the only man who escaped. It was a sorrowful commencement for a campaign, a sad presage which was destined not to remain unfulfilled.
