I was only too glad to lend myself to this pleasant arrangement, and felt curious to see the faces of the three recluses, as well as to hear what they had to say on these great changes.

We travelled post, and in three days we got to Munich, where I went to lodge at the sign of the "Stag." There I found two young Venetians of the Cantarini family, who had been there some time in company with Count Pompei, a Veronese; but not knowing them, and having no longer any need of depending on recluses for my daily bread, I did not care to pay my respects to them.

"He praises me, THEREFORE he acknowledges me to be right" this asinine method of inference spoils half of the life of us recluses, for it brings the asses into our neighbourhood and friendship.

"Some were penitents, no doubt," she answered, "but they, having obtained by their sanctity an extraordinary reputation, induced others, whose lives had been blameless, to follow their example, and in time the desert became colonised with recluses, who rivalled each other in the intensity of their devotions and the extent of their privations."

It is sad, but these recluses, praying for the pope, instilling a love for the papacy in the confessional, these honest and conscientious but dangerous men must be shorn of their power to encourage rebels. There was a farce of a trial. Houghton was brought to the scaffold and died protesting his innocence.

Two in a study was the rule at Beckford, though there were recluses who lived alone, and seemed to enjoy it.

If your excellence would kindly give me some help, it would speed my journey for me." "I can't give you anything, but you will find recluses on your way who won't let you die of hunger. But tell me how you contrived to pierce the roof of The Leads."

The gloom and loneliness, however, in which Mordaunt's days were spent, were far from partaking of that selfishness so common, almost so necessarily common, to recluses. Wherever he had gone in his travels through Italy, he had left light and rejoicing behind him. In his residence at , while unknown to the great and gay, he was familiar with the outcast and the destitute.

But the sweet, silvery roulade could there be anything more charming in the world of outdoor music? My winter rambles and winter is almost as good a time for bird study as summer enabled me to note some variety of temperament in the avian realm. One thing we soon learn in our winter outings: Few birds are recluses.

If he had gone out, the sight of a workingman with his wife and child would have made him weep, but his monastic seclusion gave him other forms of suffering, the despair of recluses, their terrible outbreaks of rebellion when the god to whom they have consecrated themselves does not respond to their sacrifices.
