And then for the Fast-days of the Puritan period let him read aloud to you this powerful passage in the Holy War.
But the writer is not satisfied. Worms, he had been told by a physician, who was also a great naturalist, are reckoned as fishes, which one can eat on fast-days. But with all this, he fears that a young chicken may be really forbidden food, and he asks the help of the poet Ortuinus to a righteous decision.
Dispensations to eat meat on fast-days dispensations to marry one's near relation dispensations for anything and everything which the faithful might wish to purchase who desired forbidden pleasures. The dispensations were simply scandalous.
For "codfish must still be had for Lent and fast-days." Another authority pictures the Breton babies of this period playing with trinkets made of walrus tusks, and the Norman maidens decked in furs brought by their brothers from the shores of Anticosti and Labrador.
He was parsimonious in such matters and hated to see good clothes spoilt, as he showed when he removed a new velvet cap in a sudden storm and sent to his palace for an old one! He observed fast-days, though he did not dine with the monks, and he lived the regular life of the monastery.
In some religious communities of both sexes, but especially in those of the Capuchines, the fast-days are multiplied to such an extent, that they compose the greater number of days in the year. Abstinence from meat varies in the different bishoprics, according to the established custom or the bishop’s will.
Her popularity with Carmichael's friends was beyond question, for though she was a reserved woman, with no voluntary conversation, they all sent messages to her, inquired for her well-being at Fast-days, and brought her gifts of handkerchiefs, gloves, and such like.
A few fast-days and feast-days are left, and these had better be done away with. But no one gives this a thought, and there is nothing left except the ban for debt, and this should not be.
A. By fast-days I mean days on which we are allowed but one full meal. According to the traditional Catholic method of fasting, one may eat "one full meal" each day with meat included, plus two smaller meatless meals, both of which together do not equal the one full meal.
The laughter-loving lieutenant hated embarrassment as he did fast-days, and I had given him a bad hour. He was back before I thought it possible. "She will see you at once in the commandant's waiting-room." He looked at me oddly. "Your wife is a queenly woman, monsieur." The lights shone uncertainly in the commandant's waiting-room. It was the room where I had met the English captive.
