It
must
be
troublesome
,
I
imagine

Of
course
it
is
,
of
course

Just
imagine
when
I
was
in
Belgium
I
used
to
see
them
out
cycling
in
all
kinds
of
weather
with
this
thing
up
about
their
knees
!
It
was
really
ridiculous
.
LES
JUPES
,
they
call
them
in
Belgium

The

so
modified
as
to
be
indistinct

What

Stephen
smiled
again
in
answer
to
the
smile
which
he
could
not
see
on
the
priest
's
shadowed
face
,
its
image
or
spectre
only
passing
rapidly
across
his
mind
as
the
low
discreet
accent
fell
upon
his
ear
.
He
gazed
calmly
before
him
at
the
waning
sky
,
glad
of
the
cool
of
the
evening
and
of
the
faint
yellow
glow
which
hid
the
tiny
flame
kindling
upon
his
cheek
.
The
names
of
articles
of
dress
worn
by
women
or
of
certain
soft
and
delicate
stuffs
used
in
their
making
brought
always
to
his
mind
a
delicate
and
sinful
perfume
.
As
a
boy
he
had
imagined
the
reins
by
which
horses
are
driven
as
slender
silken
bands
and
it
shocked
him
to
feel
at
Stradbrooke
the
greasy
leather
of
harness
.
It
had
shocked
him
,
too
,
when
he
had
felt
for
the
first
time
beneath
his
tremulous
fingers
the
brittle
texture
of
a
woman
's
stocking
for
,
retaining
nothing
of
all
he
read
save
that
which
seemed
to
him
an
echo
or
a
prophecy
of
his
own
state
,
it
was
only
amid
soft-worded
phrases
or
within
rose-soft
stuff
's
that
he
dared
to
conceive
of
the
soul
or
body
of
a
woman
moving
with
tender
life
.
But
the
phrase
on
the
priest
's
lips
was
disingenuous
for
he
knew
that
a
priest
should
not
speak
lightly
on
that
theme
.
The
phrase
had
been
spoken
lightly
with
design
and
he
felt
that
his
face
was
being
searched
by
the
eyes
in
the
shadow
.
Whatever
he
had
heard
or
read
of
the
craft
of
jesuits
he
had
put
aside
frankly
as
not
borne
out
by
his
own
experience
.
His
masters
,
even
when
they
had
not
attracted
him
,
had
seemed
to
him
always
intelligent
and
serious
priests
,
athletic
and
high-spirited
prefects
.
He
thought
of
them
as
men
who
washed
their
bodies
briskly
with
cold
water
and
wore
clean
cold
linen
.
During
all
the
years
he
had
lived
among
them
in
Clongowes
and
in
Belvedere
he
had
received
only
two
pandies
and
,
though
these
had
been
dealt
him
in
the
wrong
,
he
knew
that
he
had
often
escaped
punishment
.
During
all
those
years
he
had
never
heard
from
any
of
his
masters
a
flippant
word
:
it
was
they
who
had
taught
him
christian
doctrine
and
urged
him
to
live
a
good
life
and
,
when
he
had
fallen
into
grievous
sin
,
it
was
they
who
had
led
him
back
to
grace
.
Their
presence
had
made
him
diffident
of
himself
when
he
was
a
muffin
Clongowes
and
it
had
made
him
diffident
of
himself
also
while
he
had
held
his
equivocal
position
in
Belvedere
.
A
constant
sense
of
this
had
remained
with
him
up
to
the
last
year
of
his
school
life
.
He
had
never
once
disobeyed
or
allowed
turbulent
companions
to
seduce
him
from
his
habit
of
quiet
obedience
;
and
,
even
when
he
doubted
some
statement
of
a
master
,
he
had
never
presumed
to
doubt
openly
.
