As the subject of the joke had formerly been a pupil of the House of Seti, and many delectable stories of his errors in penmanship still survived in the memory of the later generation of scholars, this information was received with joyful applause; and it seemed to have a glimmer of probability, in spite of the apparent contradiction that Paaker filled one of the highest offices near the king, when a grave young priest declared that he had seen the pioneer in the forecourt of the temple.
There he could laugh and not be ashamed. The forecourt was packed full of priests. All the superiors of the different Archdeaconries Chartres, Châteaudun, Nogent le Rotrou, and Dreux had left there, within the great gate, their following of parish priests and curés, who were pacing round and round the green circus of a grass plot.
"Dispatches?" echoed the night-porter.
