Sárvölgyi in abject terror sank back in his chair, while Madame Bálnokházy, rushing from the window, passionately cried "and killed him?" Desiderius, gazing haughtily at her, answered calmly: "No, I merely cast him out from the society of honorable men." To Lorand it was a savage pleasure to look at those three faces, as Desiderius spoke.
And he was as happy in that pardon as a child who had been again received into favor. Lorand indeed felt as if he were beginning his life now at the point where ten years before it had been interrupted, and as if all that happened during ten years had been merely a dream, of which only the heavy beard of manhood remained. It was very late in the morning when he and Desiderius woke.
Desi of that knows not a word." "So much the better. A living being, who does not suspect that to the man whom he is visiting, he is the most horrible phantom from the other world! The murdered father, risen up in the son! It will make me acknowledge one of the ideas I have hitherto denied the existence of hell." Desiderius returned.
At any rate, it is certain that when Desiderius answered Madame's question with such calm contempt "I cast him out, I did not kill him," on Melanie's face could be remarked a certain radiance, though not caused by delight that her fiancé's life had been spared. Lorand remarked it, and hastened to spoil the smile.
The great Benedictine Abbot Desiderius of Monte Cassino, who afterwards became Pope, used all of his extensive influence in both positions to secure an audience for the books hence the many manuscript copies of his writings that we have.
The old fellow had still the same military mien, the same harsh voice, and was still as sincerely fond of Desiderius and the two families as ever. Lorand was to be Desiderius' best man.
Perhaps another element in the situation was that Desiderius was desirous of having the learned physician, the travelled scholar, at Monte Cassino, for the sake of his influence on the scholarship of the abbey, and for the incentive that he would be to the younger monks to apply themselves to the varied field of knowledge which the Benedictines had chosen for themselves at this time.
An immediate change of his policy was necessary. In 771 it came with the repudiation of Desiderata, who was sent back to her father's court at Pavia. Henceforth Charles and Desiderius were implacable enemies. And now everything went in favour of the papal policy, just as before everything had seemed to cross it.
"Well, and do you remember me?" said Fanny playfully, putting her hand on her fiancé's arm. "When first you kissed me here," retorted Desiderius, looking into her beaming eyes. "How you feared me then!" "Well, and do you remember," said the young fellow in a voice void of feeling, "when I stood resting against the doorpost, and you came to drag my secret out of me. How I loved you then!"
"You have risen again?" was the question to be read in Sárvölgyi's fixed stare that settled on Desiderius' face. "My brother, Desiderius," said Lorand in a tone of unembarrassed confidence, introducing his brother. "He heard from me of the ladies being here, so perhaps Mr. Sárvölgyi will pardon us, if, in accordance with my brother's request, we steal a few moments' visit."
