Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the Crusaders, Vol. 2 The rite itself was the preliminary to a state which the inmates of the cloister had renounced for ever. The Abbess's Norman pride of birth, and the real interest which she took in her niece's advancement, overcame all scruples; and the venerable mother might be seen in unwonted bustle, now giving orders to the gardener for decking the apartment with flowers - now to her cellaress, her precentrix, and the lay-sisters of the kitchen, for preparing a splendid banquet, mingling her commands on these worldly subjects with an occasional ejaculation on their vanity and worthlessness, and every now and then converting the busy and anxious looks which she threw upon her preparations into a solemn turning upward of eyes and folding of hands, as one who sighed over the mere earthly pomp which she took such trouble in superintending. At another time the good lady might have been seen in, close consultation with Father Aldrovand upon the ceremonial, civil and religious, which was to accompany a solemnity of such consequence to her family. Meanwhile the reins of discipline, although relaxed for a season, were not entirely thrown loose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
