There was something unusual about his appearance which attracted the prince's attention at once. "Has anything happened?" "Everything. The case is won.

He had learned from Gamba that Crescenti was a faithful parish priest as well as an assiduous scholar, but he saw that the librarian's beneficence took that purely personal form which may coexist with a serene acceptance of the general evils underlying particular hardships.
