A tournament of that class was being held all that summer between the regular priests and the newly-instituted Predicant Friars.
Luckily, the predicant took no notice of this incident, for he was thinking about himself as he was too prone to do. Then, to make matters worse, Suzanne must needs throw her arms round her father's neck and begin to cry thanks be to my bringing up of her, she knew better than to throw them round mine. "Good Lord!" I said, losing my temper, "what is the girl at now?
"Man alive! wilt hold thy peace, and let man be? Thou art turned now into a predicant friar. I'll leave thee here to preach to the gilly-flowers." And Matthew walked off, with a sprig of mint in his mouth. He was not a bad man, as men go. He was simply a man who wanted to please himself, and to be comfortable and easy. In his eyes the whole fabric of the universe revolved round Matthew Foljambe.
It appears probable that at an early period of their preaching, a very large percentage of the Predicant Friars were Gospellers.

But listen, Allan, and you, too, prédicant Quatermain; there are other and more important reasons than this petty squabble why I should be glad if you could go away for a while.
