"Here, step into this niche, put your mouth to this opening" and Knops pointed to one of many silver tubes which projected near them "now breathe. Is not that refreshing?" "Yes," said Leo, reviving, as he took a long draught of fresh cool air. "How do your people endure such heat?" "They are used to it; besides, they can come to these little tubes, as you have done, whenever they please."
By this time Knops would have returned, so Paz hurried Leo off, not, however, without first filling his pockets with goodies. Up they clambered, until it seemed as if they might reach the stars by going a little farther, and now Leo was really so tired that when he sank down on the feathery couch in the sea-shell corridor he was asleep before he could explain to Knops the cause of his absence.
Leo's attention had flagged during this speech he was so unaccustomed to many words now his interest revived. "Do you remember a certain shady spot about half a mile from the monastery, beneath a group of birch-trees, and overhung with alders?" asked Knops. "Do I not, indeed?" responded Leo, eagerly. "It is the sweetest, coolest water on the estate.
Each worker is needed to make the perfect whole. The men who wrought the gold knots and knops of the sanctuary, who wove the veil for the Holy of Holies, were called great, but the hewers of wood and carriers of water were temple builders too, even though their part was but to raise up scaffoldings that must come down again, or to mix the mortar that is unseen though it should weld the whole.
The church possesses four chalices of silver-gilt of the fourteenth or early fifteenth century. Two of them have elaborate knops with crocketed niches with figures, and one has the symbols of the Evangelists in high relief on the foot, with leaf-scrolls and big stars, the plan being octofoil.
And as he quietly thought, he heard the click, click of little boots, and Knops was beside him, followed by Paz. Leo greeted them warmly. "Did you suppose that we had deserted you?" asked Knops, sitting down by his side on the couch as if exhausted. "Yes, I was a little alarmed; it was so strange to find myself alone in such a place, for of course I had no idea which way to turn or what to do."
Paz, do you know anything about this?" "Not much, Master Knops. I have seen iron in various forms introduced, but think that is usually controlled by the earth's formation." Leo sighed at his own ignorance, and vowed to study up these matters; but Knops, seeing his look of dejection, asked, "How would you like a bath?" "Delightful. Where?
"No; they were not remarkable, not half as singular as coral formations." "What are they?" "Don't tell me you know nothing of coral!" "I believe I have seen it, but that is all." "Coral is made by wonderful little animals who live and die in its cells until their structures are big enough for islands; but I will leave that to Knops: my plan is not to cram."
And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
Knops touched a spring and set a new series of wheels in motion, when, instantly, a gushing fountain flowed up in a small stone basin beneath a rustic cross; then a little lake appeared, on which were sailing small swans; and finally a rushing, roaring flood started some mill-wheels and almost threatened destruction to the tiny buildings upon its banks.
