The prior struck his bell, all signed themselves with a large cross, and on the left, where he could not see, for Durtal had taken the same place as in the morning, near Saint Joseph's altar, a voice arose: "Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum." And the other part of the choir answered: "Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus."
In October the final step is taken, and in the succeeding January the mournful history is closed in the following most touching words: Jan. 20, 1846. You may think how lonely I am. Obliviscere populum tuum et domum patris tui, has been in my ears for the last twelve hours. I realize more that we are leaving Littlemore, and it is like going on the open sea.
Such is our show-place, the "Sacred Soil," where sleep the departed warriors of the Ngatewhatua. The bell-bird and the tui sing a requiem over them by day, while the morepork and the kiwi wail for them at night. And the wonderful loveliness of this spot, where they fought and died, might well inspire a Tennyson to pen another "Locksley Hall." "Jee roosalem!" sighed Dandy Jack.
Then, when my ship has gone, you you and he you must promise me this, Tui must leave this island as quickly as possible; so that when Obadiah Howlman sends another warship here as he will do they may not discover that I am a liar and have been false to my duty." "Oh, sir, is this true? Surely you would not tell a lie to a poor native girl like me?"
And then, just about two years after Mr. Junor's arrival, Kai Bok-su found an assistant of his own right in Formosa, and one who was destined to become a wonderful help to him. And so one bright day, there was a wedding in the chapel of the old Dutch fort, where the British consul married George Leslie Mackay to a Formosan lady. Tui Chhang Mai, her name had been.
"Been allowing Tui Tulifau too much credit?" "On the contrary. There has been no credit at all. And every old account has been settled up." "I don't follow you, Ieremia," Grief confessed. "What's the joke? shelves empty, no credit, old accounts all square, storehouse carefully locked what's the answer?" Ieremia did not reply immediately.
Thomson has clearly no bias in favour of a God like our own, known to savages, and not derived from ghost-worship. He deduces this god, Tui Laga, from priestly reflection and speculation. But we find such a God where we find no priests, where a priesthood has not been developed.
Things were not so bad at first. Tui, who lives not far off, came over with Mat Davis, and helped me to put up this hut; or otherwise, as far as my old master was concerned, I should have had to sleep out of doors. He, however, would not let them come again, and I have had to look out for myself.
'It is probable that there were here and there, gods that were the creation of the priests that ministered to them, and were not the spirits of dead chiefs. Such was the god of the Bure Tribe on the Ra coast, who was called Tui Laga or "Lord of Heaven." When the missionaries first went to convert this town they found the heathen priest their staunch ally.
For the use of manus in the above sense, reference is made to Cic. in Ver. 2, 10, 27: Comites illi tui delecti manus erant tuae. So the centurions of the legate and the servants of the procurator are said by our author to have robbed the Briton King Prasutagus of his kingdom and his palace, Ann. 14, 31, which is the best commentary on the passage before us. Ab ignavis. By the feeble and cowardly.
