As for the priest, the Abbe de Veze, his presence said all. The priest who fulfils his mission is known by the first glance he gives you, and by the glance that others who know him give to him. That which struck Godefroid most forcibly at first was the profound respect which the four lodgers manifested for Madame de la Chanterie.
On reflection he saw that the united fortunes of Madame de la Chanterie, Messieurs Alain, Nicolas, Joseph, and that of Judge Popinot, the gifts obtained through the Abbe de Veze, and the assistance lent by the firm of Mongenod must produce a large capital; and that this capital, increased during the last dozen years by grateful returns from those assisted, must have grown like a snowball, inasmuch as the charitable stewards of it spent so little on themselves.
Godefroid saw the baron, through one of the casements on the stairs, crossing the court-yard; he had just time to get down into the salon where the friends were all assembled and to cry out: "Baron Bourlac is here!" Madame de la Chanterie, hearing the name, rose; supported by the Abbe de Veze she went to her room.
Did he intend to stay?" etc., at the same time advising him to persevere in his plan. "I need only one thing to make me contented," said Godefroid. "What is that?" asked the banker. "An occupation." "An occupation!" remarked the Abbe de Veze. "Then you have changed your mind? I thought you came to our cloister for rest."
"Take him away, Alain!" he added, removing the hand with which he had gagged Godefroid. Then he followed the Abbe de Veze into Madame de la Chanterie's room. "Come!" said Monsieur Alain to Godefroid; "you have made it essential that I should tell you the secrets of Madame's life." They were presently sitting in the old man's room.
The concentration of the moral forces, no matter under what system it may be effected, increases the compass of them tenfold. "Our friend is not yet converted," said the good Abbe de Veze, "but he is seeking to be."
I, who cannot weep, whom the tortures of my child have dried like stubble, I shall find tears within me to move her " The door of Madame de la Chanterie's room opened; the Abbe de Veze glided in like a shadow and said to Monsieur Joseph: "That voice is torturing Madame." "Ah! she is there!" exclaimed the baron.
There are diseased natures, to be cared for in asylums; but outside of those rare medical cases, we find only persons who are without religion, or who reason ill; and the mission of charity is to teach them the right use of reason, to encourage the weak, and guide aright those who go astray." "And," said the Abbe de Veze, "all is possible to such teachers, for God is with them."
I was sent round to a place, the name of which I cannot remember, to a certain division; then I struck north along a straight road through the forest to Villers-Cotterets. The town was crammed with French motor-lorries and crowded with French troops, who greeted me hilariously as I rode through to Véze.
"As we go to mass every morning, you will not be surprised to find us blindly following all the customs of the Church, even the severest." "And you shall begin by imitating us," said Madame de la Chanterie, with a glance at Godefroid, whom she had placed beside her. Of the five persons present Godefroid knew the names of three, Madame de la Chanterie, the Abbe de Veze, and Monsieur Alain.
