They crowd in flocks to see him at Saint Waltheof's, where the immense height of his forehead, the rigid asceticism of his surplice, the twang with which he intones the service, and the namby-pamby mysticism of his sermons, have turned all the dear girls' heads for some time past.

At last I happened to be reading a religious writer, as he thought himself, who threw aspersions on his opponents thick and threefold.
