He believes as thoroughly in your visions as in the spirit-voice of the dead Alexander." Next day the whole world of Petrograd was startled. To Grichka the Blessed Virgin had once again revealed herself, just as she had done years ago to the peasant girl at Lourdes. The Procurator of the Holy Synod called to see him at noon to inquire of him personally, and ascertain what he had seen.
The Chancellor motioned with his hand, whereupon Master Robert Berry, a procurator of the city, advanced and read a long parchment which set forth in phrase and detail of legality twenty accusations against the Earl, of treason, rebellion, and manifest oppression. When he had finished the Chancellor said, "And now, Earl Douglas, what answer have you to these things?"
“Our king!” he cried. “The procurator says he is our king!” As the thunder peals, a roar surged back: “We have no other king than Cæsar.” “Think of Sejanus,” the high-priest suggested. The thrust was so well timed it told. Pilate looked sullenly about. “Fetch me water,” he ordered. A silver bowl was brought, and borrowing a custom from the Jews he loathed, he dipped his fingers in it.
During the last five or six months that this weakness had been felt, the worthy procurator had nearly become the slave of his wife. The cousin was received with resignation, that was all. M. Coquenard, firm upon his legs, would have declined all relationship with M. Porthos.
In each capital of a province, there is or ought to be a municipal magistracy denominated the Cabildo, composed of several regidors appointed for life, of a standard-bearer, a procurator, a forensic judge called the provincial alcalde, a high sheriff called, alguazil-mayor, and two alcaldes.

Andreas was bought by a tavern-keeper; the procurator, whose name as a slave was Smaragdus, by the father of Polybius; and this worthy man soon learned to value his servant so highly, that he purchased the son also, and restored him to his father. Thus they were once more united.
"Since we are talking about errors," said the king's procurator, "I have just been studying the figures on the portal below before ascending hither; is your reverence quite sure that the opening of the work of physics is there portrayed on the side towards the Hotel-Dieu, and that among the seven nude figures which stand at the feet of Notre-Dame, that which has wings on his heels is Mercurius?"
Galilee was always a hotbed of seditious enthusiasm against the rule of Rome; and high priest and procurator alike had need to keep a sharp eye upon natives of that district.
It was evident that Finnish nationality was to be crushed out, if possible, in the interest of Russian homogeneity. It soon became apparent, moreover, that Pobiedonostzev was to enjoy even more power than he had under Alexander III. In proportion as the character of Nicholas II was weaker than that of his father, the power of the Procurator of the Holy Synod was greater.
