His voice faltered, and a sudden ashy paleness overspread his features, his head fell back helplessly, and he seemed transfixed and insensible. Leroy and one or two of the others rose in alarm, thinking he had swooned, but Sergius Thord warned them back by a sign. The little Pequita, slipping from the arms of Lotys, went softly up to him. "Paul! Dear Paul!" she said in her soft childish tones.
"Once, and not so very long ago, for you there was no such thing as the 'better-class, Sergius!" she said; "You were wont to declare that rich and poor alike were all one family in the sight of God!" "I have not altered my opinion," said Thord, a slight flush colouring his cheek; "But you are a woman and as a woman should have every care and tenderness."
And when this expedition lauded at Carthage, Sergius departed forthwith for Numidia with his own army, and Areobindus, upon learning that Antalas and Stotzas were encamped near the city of Siccaveneria, which is three days' journey distant from Carthage, commanded John, the son of Sisiniolus, to go against them, choosing out whatever was best of the army; and he wrote to Sergius to unite with the forces of John, in order that they might all with one common force engage with the enemy.
If there were danger to be apprehended, the moment of it would arrive when the girl was arrested and the story of Alban Kennedy's misadventure made known to her friends. Sergius began to perceive that he must not linger an hour in Warsaw when this were done.
Romish authors themselves admit it, the well-known Dupin with the rest, as appears by the following extract from his writings: "The Council had as much reason to censure him as Sergius, Paulus, Peter, and the other Patriarchs o£ Constantinople."
What men can become when they are baulked of their desires! But it is no use, my Sergius! you have gained power in one direction, but you have lost it in another! You cannot have your cake, and eat it!" Here he reeled against the wall, then straightening himself with a curious effort at dignity, he continued: "Leave her alone, Sergius! Leave Lotys in peace! She is a good soul!
At length, the Patriarch, waving his hand, said: "Brethren, it may be Sergius, to whom we have been listening, has his impulse of speech from the Spirit, even as he has declared. Let us be patient and hear him." Turning to Sergius, he bade him proceed. Thus, which of you can find a text of our Lord treating of his procession from the substance of God?
"Will he swear by the Gospels, the divine books of the Christians? It was on those books that the faith of his nephew Sergius was pledged to eighty of our innocent and unfortunate brethren. Before we trust them a second time, let us try their efficacy in the chastisement of perjury and the vindication of their own honor."
How did he know they belonged to the same party?" Then all began gesticulating and shouting to Sergius for help and explanation. Here was an unforeseen incident, and the mind of the young Roman viewed it rapidly in all its lights.
These were simple questions, and there was but one word that could answer them; so Sergius struggled to put Marcia from his heart, until he flattered himself that the difficult task had at last been accomplished.
