But why were they to suffer for what fellows in the higher line did? Wells had said that they had drunk some of the altar wine out of the press in the sacristy and that it had been found out who had done it by the smell. Perhaps they had stolen a monstrance to run away with and sell it somewhere.
Such strange nudity like unto a monstrance gleaming with precious stones and intended for religious adoration brought her anger to a climax. She had suffered too much, she would not tolerate it. And yet at first she simply showed herself despairing and supplicating. It was but the mother remonstrating with her big mad boy of an artist that spoke. 'What are you doing there, Claude?
The altar was a mass of burning candles; and a flickering gleam fell on the brass candlesticks, the little gold leaves and the artificial flowers and on the corners of the silver monstrance, which stood glittering high up in a little white satin house.

"You have given a monstrance to the church, that cost five thousand francs. I'll explain it all later." The miserly Baudoyer make a sulky grimace, and continued gloomy and cross for the rest of the day. "What did you busy yourself about Falleix's passport for? Why do you meddle in other people's affairs?" he presently asked her.
In the treasury are a silver-gilt monstrance with many pinnacles and Renaissance scrolls on the foot, a cross and a chalice of silver-gilt with medallions on the foot, which once had an enamel ground. The most interesting thing, however, is a chasuble of the fifteenth century, with embroidered figures of silver-gilt thread in high relief upon the cross.
