Ere he had formed a resolution, the chaplain had arrived at some convenient pause in the lecture, where the Archbishop stopped him with, "Satis est, mi fili." It was in vain that the proud secular Baron strove to conceal the embarrassment with which he approached the Prelate, whose attitude was plainly assumed for the purpose of impressing him with awe and solicitude.
He called the most important generals to him. "My head, be it good or bad, must depend on itself," said he, rising from the bench, and he rode to Fili where his carriages were waiting. The Council of War began to assemble at two in the afternoon in the better and roomier part of Andrew Savostyanov's hut.
Why did he not take up a position before reaching Fili? Why did he not retire at once by the Kaluga road, abandoning Moscow? and so on. People accustomed to think in that way forget, or do not know, the inevitable conditions which always limit the activities of any commander in chief.
"Pater de coelis Deus, miserere nobis; Fili Redemptor mundi Deus, miserere nobis, Spiritus sancte Deus, miserere nobis; Sancte Trinitas unus Deus, miserere nobis" the Tenor sang softly to himself as he slowly pursued his way.
At the foot lies the village of San Fili, and here we left the crazy old cart which we had dragged so far. A little further, and before us lay a long, level road, a true Roman highway, straight for mile after mile. By this road the Visigoths must have marched after the sack of Rome. In approaching Cosenza I was drawing near to the grave of Alaric.
Jacobe fili dilectissime quid fecisti?" cried the Dominie, holding up the fragment of his coat with a look of despair. "`A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," sang out old Tom: and then looking at Tom, "Now, ain't you a pretty rascal, master Tom?" "It is done," exclaimed the Dominie, with a sigh, putting the fragment into the remaining pocket; "and it cannot be undone."
For example, for the birds: Lupe, they would give the name of the fish, Une. Ngongo, Do. do. do. Alongo. Tiotala, Do. do. do. Ngatala. Here, too, there was a forfeit if beaten. They had tripping and stammering games also. One party would say to the other you repeat "O lo matou niu afaafa lava le la i tuafale, Sasa, ma fili, ma faataa, ma lafo i fongavai."
At the council at Fili the prevailing thought in the minds of the Russian commanders was the one naturally suggesting itself, namely, a direct retreat by the Nizhni road.
In Dusseldorf eighteen men and boys, surprised at their singing of Prime in the church of Saint Laurence, had been cast down one by one into the city-sewer, each chanting as he vanished: "Christi Fili Dei vivi miserere nobis," and from the darkness had come up the same broken song till it was silenced with stones. Meanwhile, the German prisons were thronged with the first batches of recusants.
The words, "Rialobrani Cunovali Fili," which probably mark the fact that Rialobran, son of Cunoval, some Brito-Celtic chieftain of eld, lies buried not far distant, meant nothing to Joan, but the old gray-headed stone, perhaps the loneliest in all Cornwall, was pleasant to her thoughts, and she trudged forward gladly with her eyes open for all the beauties of a smiling world.
