Through the rough turf the bracken pushed upward, uncurling sturdy croziers of brownish green.
Thus, on the arms of the house of X being handed me, my son would reply: "Field gules, with two croziers argent in pale." This knowledge was very useful to us in the salons of the Faubourg Saint Germain, where we were frequently summoned. I had also learned the characters though unable to translate a word of an infinity of languages, such as Chinese, Russian, Turkish Greek, Hebrew, etc.
These sailor-clerics, who settled on the southeast of the island, were spoken of by later Norwegians as "papar." After their departure they were probably driven away by Norwegian pagans these Icelandic apostles "left behind them Irish books, bells, and croziers, wherefrom one could understand they were Irishmen." But St. Brendan, the voyager, is the most wonderful of the mariner monks of Ireland.
The Croziers might have all the spoil, but the Halls would share the joke, and Percival Reed would crow less crouse for the future. It was a quite simply arranged affair. The Halls entered with zest into the plot. Second place was not good enough for them, and the Reeds had boasted long enough.
The porter made sure that he had to do with a fool and said: Good morrow, fool, where have you been this long while? And he answered: At the Abbot of St. Michaels wedding, and he wed an abbess, large and veiled. And from the Alps to Mount St. Michael how they came, the priests and abbots, monks and regulars, all dancing on the green with croziers and with staves under the high trees shade.
One room, the hall or banquetting-room, as in all Gothic castles, is of an immense size, and lofty in proportion. The ornaments likewise partake of the character of the age; they are chiefly carved angels, croziers, and other sacred appendages.
It is God who justifies," said Spikeman, turning on the minister his glazing eyes. "It is in vain," said Winthrop. "He heeds not nor understands what you say." "Papistical mummeries! Your croziers, your mitres, your mumbled prayers from the mass-book! I hate them! Forty years long they wandered in the wilderness, but they prevailed at last. Stay ye the hands of our Moses! Be strong!
For their prelates; when they are proud and great, there is also danger from them; as it was in the times of Anselmus, and Thomas Becket, Archbishops of Canterbury; who, with their croziers, did almost try it with the king's sword; and yet they had to deal with stout and haughty kings, William Rufus, Henry the First, and Henry the Second.
Never a day or a night was there when Hall and his friend Reed cantered together to meet some of the Scott or Elliot clan, or to rescue a drove of cattle or sheep from them, or from some of the Croziers or Turnbulls, but what Hall rode with murder in his heart. Reed was utterly unconscious.
"Precisely," said Burger. "If I had more time I should like to show you all the bodies which are buried in these niches upon the walls, for they are the early popes and bishops of the Church, with their mitres, their croziers, and full canonicals. Go over to that one and look at it!" Kennedy went across, and stared at the ghastly head which lay loosely on the shredded and mouldering mitre.
