A few words from Doucebelle explained. Still the Countess was extremely dissatisfied. "My maid," she said, "thy father may think I have not kept my word. I ought to have told Father Bruno. I never thought of it, when he first came. I am very sorry. Has he talked with thee on matters of religion at all?" "Yes." Belasez explained no further. "Dear, dear!" said the Countess.
Doucebelle had now reached a point where she could neither turn round nor go further. The more she cogitated on her problem, the more insoluble it appeared to her. Yet her instinctive feeling told her that to refer it to Father Nicholas would be of no service.
She warmed into vivid life for an instant, to make this reply; then she sank back against the wall, apparently overpowered by utter weariness. "I am glad of that," said Margaret, with her usual outspoken earnestness. "What can Levina be doing? Doucebelle, do go and see. And hast thou been hard at work at Norwich all the summer, Belasez?" "No, if it please my Damsel.
"To whom, Lady?" asked Beatrice, calmly but Doucebelle uttered an ejaculation under her breath. "To Maud, daughter of Sir John de Lacy, the Earl of Lincoln. It is no fault of his, poor boy! The Lord King would have it so.
And he walked away, as was his wont when he had delivered his sentence. That afternoon, the Countess sent for Beatrice and Doucebelle to her own bower. They found her seated by the window, with unusually idle hands, and an expression of sore disturbance on her fair, serene face. "There is bad news come, my damsels," she said, when the girls had made their courtesies.
But she had sense to perceive that he was incapable of understanding her, and that his only idea of dealing with such queries would be not to solve, but to suppress them. Doucebelle passed in mental review every person in the Castle: and every one, in turn, she dismissed as unsuitable for her purpose.
The Countess, in the Earl's absence, readily granted his request, and Doucebelle's fear of hurting the feelings of her kind-hearted though careless old friend were no longer a bar in the way of consulting Father Bruno. Father Warner, who was confessing the other half of the household, growled his disapprobation when Doucebelle begged to be included in the penitents of Father Bruno.
Therefore cultus, which is the noun of this verb, signifies, when referred to things inanimate, tending or cultivation to things animate, education, culture; to God and the holy saints, reverence and worship. Dost thou now understand, my daughter?" "I thank you very much, Father," said Doucebelle, quietly; "I understand now."
"Belasez, dear maid, He said one other thing. `Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Trust me, the surest way to find out who He is, is to come to Him." "What meanest thou? He is not on earth." "He is where thy need is," answered Doucebelle gently.
And though some priests do wed," this had not yet, in England, ceased to be the case "yet people always seem to think the celibate priests more holy, as if that were more in accordance with the will of God. Yet God tells us to love each other. I cannot quite understand." If Doucebelle could have seen, as well as spoken, through the confessional grating, assuredly she would have stopped sooner.
