Pretty straw mats lay on the floor, and pots of plants, filling the little room with fragrance, stood on the window-sill and in a corner of the room where a clay statuette of the Good Shepherd looked down on a praying-desk. The door had scarcely closed behind them when Perpetua exclaimed: "But child, how you frightened me! At so late an hour!" "I felt I must come," said Paula.
Perpetua rubs her fan up and down against her cheek for a little bit. "Well I'm glad you don't hate me," says she, "but still I'm a worry. Never mind," sighing "I daresay I shan't be so for long." "You mean?" asks the professor anxiously. "Nothing nothing at all. Good-night. Good-night indeed." "Must you go? Is enjoyment nothing to you?" "Ah! you have killed all that for me," says she.
We may refer, at least, as an example, to the careful and exact account of the appearance and utility of the Mediterranean lateen-sail which occurs at the beginning of Esto Perpetua, a piece of writing which enchants the reader with its beauty and its practical sense.
The dismantled fort, the broken stockade, the empty fosse, and the crumbling ramparts, where wandering sheep crop the herbage and the swallows build their nests in the months of the overturned and rusty cannon, are all the evidence of the long reign of an unbroken peace. Esto perpetua so may it ever be. A few words in conclusion as to the construction of this story of the War.
Even before he had come into the council-room she had offered her explanation of the robbery to Nilus, through her nurse Perpetua; but it would have seemed fairer and more friendly in his eyes and here he raised his voice if she had chosen to confide to him, Orion, her plan for helping the freedman. Then he might have been able to warn her.
"Not at all, not at all," declares the professor hurriedly. "Don't don't cry, Perpetua! Look here," laying his hand nervously upon her shoulder and giving her a little angry shake. "Don't cry! Good heavens! Why should you mind that awful old woman?" Nevertheless, he had minded that awful old woman himself very considerably. "But it is soon, isn't it?" says she.
There was not a cry, not a following footstep every dog knew her; the soldiers who were commonly on guard here had quitted their posts and were sitting with their comrades round the fire. The long building to the left was the weaving shop and her nurse Perpetua lived there, in the upper story.
If you were only free a vinculo matrimonii " Rosamund laughed again, and sat stroking her muff and smiling. "Curious, isn't it?" she said to Nina "the inborn antipathy of two agreeable human bipeds for one another. Similis simili gaudet as my learned friend will admit. But with us it's the old, old case of that eminent practitioner, the late Dr. Fell. Esto perpetua! Oh, well!
While we sat within the circle, many people, of both sexes, passed through, kissing the iron cross which stands in the centre, thereby gaining an indulgence of seven years, I believe. In front of several churches I have seen an inscription in Latin, "INDULGENTIA PLENARIA ET PERPETUA PRO CUNCTIS MORTUIS ET VIVIS"; than which, it seems to me, nothing more could be asked or desired.
Here it was secluded, yet full of life, and amidst the wealth of sounds in which might be heard the tapping of the woodpecker, the cry of the lapwing, and the call of the distant wood-pigeon, it was so still and peaceful that Eva's heart grew lighter in spite of her grief. Sister Perpetua spoke only to answer a question.
