We come into the world with different perceptions; but do not let us drift into argument, not this evening, Owen." "Quite so, let us not drift into argument.... I am sorry you charged me with being disappointed that you didn't remain in the convent; you see I didn't know of the wonderful work you were doing here. Your kindness is more than a nun's kindness."
The elder woman's white fingers twined round each other more desperately, for Sister Giovanna's face was turned full to her now, and their eyes were meeting; the young nun's were fierce with pain, but the Mother's were strangely lustreless and dull. 'No, she said, mechanically answering the last words, 'you must not see him. 'Not see him once?
Once, long ago, I found that in the Nun's Room; I thought it was glass, but Mistress Barbara's voice says it is a diamond. Take it, master, you will know." It was a diamond which Sir John held between his finger and thumb. In the moonlight the colours sparkled, such deep, clear colours as never came from glass. It was a stone that had been set; how had it come into the Nun's Room?
It poured with rain, and I got soaked through before I reached my lodging. This was a bath well fitted to diminish the ardour of my passion, but it made me very late in rising the next morning. I took out the two portraits of M M , one in a nun's dress, and the other nude, as Venus. I felt sure they would be of service to me with the nun.
I threw that over my head after the fashion of Italy and gained the outer gate. There were masons at work near the gate which was open and I passed through into the street without being questioned by any one. As I had not a nun's dress on, no one supposed I belonged to the Institution. I walked down directly to the sea coast.
Barrett of Navan expressed it, "I took a notion, ma'am" that Fanny would look well in a nun's dress; and boldly I went to work with my interpreter, who thought the request at first too bold to make; but I forced it through to nun the first, who backed and consulted nun the second, who at my instigation referred in the last appeal to the abbess, who, in her supreme good-nature, smiled, and pointed upstairs; and straight our two nuns carried Fanny and me off with them up stairs and stairs, and through passages and passages, to a little nun's room I mean a nun's little room nice with flowers and scraps of relics and religious prints.
It is best baked in two cakes; if you make it in two, put currants in one, and carraway seeds in the other. Seed cake the nun's way. If you please, you may add two or three grains of ambergris. SEED WATER. Bruise a spoonful of coriander seeds, and half a spoonful of carraway.
She was a small woman, with a worn face and kind brown eyes, one of the half-dozen who live in the little convent and work among the children of the very poor in that quarter. Both men had taken out money. "For the poor children, if you please," said Guido, placing his offering in the nun's hand. "And tell them to pray for a man who is in trouble," added Lamberti, giving her money.
I merely formulate your decisions after you reach them, if they're favorable." "Well, then, what is this one?" "Is it favorable?" "You said you would formulate it." She laughed again, and Staniford started as one does when a nebulous association crystallizes into a distinctly remembered fact. "What a curious laugh you have!" he said. "It's like a nun's laugh.
Then she told how she had entered the order while yet in her "teens," had held half the offices of trust in the community, and had never missed any of the most rigid fasts or absented herself once from the midnight office, never having known so much as a day's ill-health. "Ah, a nun's life is a healthy one, child, as well as a happy one," she said in conclusion.
