The friend of Colonel Albert was Baron Sergius, the baron who used to visit him in London at twilight in a dark brougham. Mrs. Neuchatel was greatly taken by his appearance, by the calmness of his mien, his unstudied politeness, and his measured voice.
Ideas of honor are of men conventional. On the other hand, the humanities stand for Charity. If thou wert the denounced, O Sergius, how wouldst thou wish to be done by?" Sergius' face brightened. "We are not seeking to save a heretic we are in search of quiet for our consciences. So why not ask and answer further: What would befall the Hegumen, did you tell the accused all you had from him?
Solomon, the Roman army, and all the Libyans were lost owing to this crime; for, in consequence of what he had done, especially after Solomon's death, no officer or soldier would expose himself to the dangers of war. John, the son of Sisinniolus, was especially averse to taking the field, out of the hatred which he bore to Sergius, until Areobindus arrived in Libya.
She wished me to come alone, as she would not be here early. "I hope she will be in time for the royal supper table; I quite count on her." "She is sure to be here." Lord Hainault was in earnest conversation with Baron Sergius, now the minister of King Florestan at the Court of St.
Fame now is adjudged to the biped-machine who drives a motor-car best, or to the fortunate soap-boiler who dines with a king! Poetry is understood to be the useful rhyme which announces the virtues of pills and boot- blacking! Mark you, Sergius! my latest volume was 'graciously accepted by the King'! Do you know what that means?"
Immediately after the service Father Sergius, having pronounced the benediction on those present, went over to the bench under the elm tree at the entrance to the cave. He wished to rest and breathe the fresh air he felt in need of it. But as soon as he left the church the crowd of people rushed to him soliciting his blessing, his advice, and his help.
A round, full drop of blood like a great ruby welled up on the white skin. All the men had risen from their places, and were gathered about her; this 'taking of the oath' was evidently the dramatic event of their existence as a community. "The pen, Sergius!" she said.
"Ha, didst thou so?" said the other, mastering instantly his fury, in his desire to make himself fully acquainted with all that had passed. "When was all this? has he seen Volero, and learned the secret of him, then?" "I sent it, Catiline, within an hour of the time I left the Campus yesterday." "Before coming to my house to dinner?" "Before going to thy house to dinner, Sergius."
Then the sacristan, Father Nicodemus also a great stumbling-block to Sergius who involuntarily reproached him for flattering and fawning on the Abbot approached him and, bowing low, requested his presence behind the holy gates. Father Sergius straightened his mantle, put on his biretta, and went circumspectly through the crowd. 'Lise, regarde a droite, c'est lui! he heard a woman's voice say.
They had turned into the new side-road without meeting a man. Then a small foraging party halted them, and Sergius showed the seal and spoke in Gallic to its Numidian leader. A little farther on was stationed another band, and here the delay was longer ere his halting Punic convinced the Spanish piquet, and they again rode forward unsuspected.
