It recalls the memory of the unforgettable evening when Denyn played on the carillon at Malines, and from the canal side I looked up at the little red casement high in the huge Cathedral tower where the great player seemed to be breathing out his soul, in solitude, among the stars.
"Monsieur," he went on in a voice which began to grow a little unsteady, "the Huns have destroyed the ancient carillons of Louvain and of Mechlin. In the superb bell-tower of Saint Rombold I have played for a thousand people; and the Carillonneur, Monsieur Vincent, and the great bell-master, Josef Denyn, have come to me to congratulate me with tears in their eyes in their eyes "
During such an hour of liberty from the bell-tower he found the dark-eyed little mistress of the bells sorting various vegetables and singing under her breath to herself the carillon music of Josef Denyn. "Tray chick, mademoiselle," he said, with a cheerful self-assertion, to hide the embarrassment which always assailed him when he encountered her.
There were tears in his own now, and he bent his white head and looked down at the worn floor under his crippled feet. "Alas," he said, "for Denyn and for Saint Rombold’s tower. The Hun has passed that way." After a silence: "Who is it now plays the carillon in Sainte Lesse!" asked Burley. "My daughter, Maryette. Sainte Lesse has honoured me in my daughter, whom I myself instructed.
