And if she went with Miriam, Pelagia must know her she may be in that very house at this moment! Arsenius had his reasons for suspecting that Philammon was but too right. But he contented himself with yielding to the boy's excitement, and set off with him in the direction of the dancer's house.
What passed when she came? 'The woman brought her next day, said Wilderspin, 'and I sketched in the face of Pelagia as Isis at once. I had already taken out the face of the previous model that had dissatisfied me. I now took out the figure too, for the figure of this new model was as perfect as her face. 'Go on, go on. What occurred?
That Pelagia should have more power than I! Not that such a creature as that disturbs me: no created thing, I hope, can move my equanimity; but if I could stoop to hate I should hate her hate her.
Augustine, St. Mary of Egypt, St. Pelagia, and a host of other illustrious penitents, are all below mere babes on account of their sins? They certainly are not. Their intense love for God, their sorrow, and their tears atoned for their sins, and placed them far, very far above many who, though they never sinned grievously, never performed an act of heroic virtue in their whole lives.
O Absalom, my son! would to God I had died for thee, my son! my son! The house which Pelagia and the Amal had hired after their return to Alexandria, was one of the most splendid in the city. They had been now living there three months or more, and in that time Pelagia's taste had supplied the little which it needed to convert it into a paradise of lazy luxury.
So he made up his mind to see it, and be filled with the fruit of his own devices. And he would have been certainly filled with the same in five minutes more, in some shape too ugly to be mentioned: but, as even sinful women have hearts in them, Pelagia shrieked out 'Amalric! Amalric! do not let them! I cannot bear it! 'The warriors are free men, my darling, and know what is proper.
He glanced one look back through the gateway as he fled, and just saw a wild whirl of Goths and girls, spinning madly round the court in the world-old Teutonic waltz; while, high above their heads, in the uplifted arms of the mighty Amal, was tossing the beautiful figure of Pelagia, tearing the garland from her floating hair to pelt the dancers with its roses. And that might be his sister!
I'll be Augustus, and Pelagia, Augusta; you and Smid here, the two Caesars; and we'll make the monk the chief of the eunuchs, eh? anything you like for a quiet life; but up this accursed kennel of hot water I go no farther. Ask your girls, my heroes, and I'll ask mine. Women are all prophetesses, every one of them. 'When they are not harlots, growled Wulf to himself.
You have forgiven me. He? He must be more good even than you. Why not? 'He forgave you then, freely, when you were baptized: and there is no second pardon unless 'Unless I leave my love! shrieked Pelagia. 'When the Lord forgave the blessed Magdalene freely, and told her that her faith had saved her did she live on in sin, or even in the pleasures of this world?
And I will build you a cell near mine, and kind men will teach us, and the will pray together night and morning, for ourselves and for each other, and weep out our weary lives together 'Better end them here, at once! said Pelagia, with a gesture of despair, and dashed herself down on the floor.
