"The Time which the necessary Preparations took up, Anadea pass'd in modelling her Soul, as much as possible, to be pleas'd with the State for which she was intended. The Chevalier had many good Qualities, and she endeavoured to add to them in Imagination a thousand more.
Saint Optat, replied the sacristan, was a bishop I thought so, by heaven! cried my father, interrupting him Saint Optat! how should Saint Optat fail? so snatching out his pocket-book, and the young Benedictine holding him the torch as he wrote, he set it down as a new prop to his system of Christian names, and I will be bold to say, so disinterested was he in the search of truth, that had he found a treasure in Saint Optat's tomb, it would not have made him half so rich: 'Twas as successful a short visit as ever was paid to the dead; and so highly was his fancy pleas'd with all that had passed in it, that he determined at once to stay another day in Auxerre.
