Rodin on very urgent business." "His name?" asked Father d'Aigrigny. "He would not tell his name; but he says that he comes from M. Van Dael, a merchant in Java."
"We, too, have the world for our country, brother, our accomplices for our family, and for our queen Bowanee." "I do not know that saint," said Rodin, humbly. "It is our Rome," answered the Strangler. "Van Dael speaks to you of those of your Order, who, scattered over all the earth, labor for the glory of Rome, your queen.
I replied: 'Nothing now, brother hereafter, much. The time has arrived. I have come to ask for much."

"You know the writing of M. Van Dael?" said Faringhea, interrupting Rodin.
Faringhea replied with an expression of bitter irony. "Joshua says to you in his letter 'Obedience and courage, secrecy and patience, craft and audacity, union between us, who have the world for our country, the brethren for our family, Rome for our queen."

This inestimable manuscript assures us that it was a rare spectacle to behold the great Peter and his loyal follower hailing the morning sun, and rejoicing in the clear countenance of Nature, as they pranced it through the pastoral scenes of Bloemen Dael; which in those days was a sweet and rural valley, beautiful with many a bright wild flower, refreshed by many a pure streamlet, and enlivened here and there by a delectable little Dutch cottage, sheltered under some sloping hill, and almost buried in embowering trees.

"How, then, is it in your possession?" "A Javanese smuggler betrayed me. Van Dael had secured a passage to Alexandria for this man, and had given him this letter to carry with him for the European mail.
