And he uttered those words with an accent whose conviction had filled the young girl with a certainty which had never left her. In spite of his seventy years, and of the experiences of the confession, in spite of the disenchanting struggle with the freemasonry of his French diocese, which had caused his exile to Rome, the venerable man looked at Fanny's marriage from a supernatural standpoint.
