I
’
m
sure
this
marquis
is
not
so
polite
as
my
pretty
bishop
,
"
he
thought
.
"
Ah
,
the
ecclesiastical
calling
makes
men
mild
and
good
.
But
the
king
has
come
to
venerate
the
relic
,
and
I
don
’
t
see
a
trace
of
the
relic
.
Where
has
Saint
Clement
got
to
?
"
A
little
priest
who
sat
next
to
him
informed
him
that
the
venerable
relic
was
at
the
top
of
the
building
in
a
chapelle
ardente
.
"
What
is
a
chapelle
ardente
,
"
said
Julien
to
himself
.
But
he
was
reluctant
to
ask
the
meaning
of
this
word
.
He
redoubled
his
attention
.
The
etiquette
on
the
occasion
of
a
visit
of
a
sovereign
prince
is
that
the
canons
do
not
accompany
the
bishop
.
But
,
as
he
started
on
his
march
to
the
chapelle
ardente
,
my
lord
bishop
of
Agde
called
the
abbé
Chélan
.
Julien
dared
to
follow
him
.
Having
climbed
up
a
long
staircase
,
they
reached
an
extremely
small
door
whose
Gothic
frame
was
magnificently
gilded
.
This
work
looked
as
though
it
had
been
constructed
the
day
before
.
Twenty
-
four
young
girls
belonging
to
the
most
distinguished
families
in
Verrières
were
assembled
in
front
of
the
door
.
The
bishop
knelt
down
in
the
midst
of
these
pretty
maidens
before
he
opened
the
door
.
While
he
was
praying
aloud
,
they
seemed
unable
to
exhaust
their
admiration
for
his
fine
lace
,
his
gracious
mien
,
and
his
young
and
gentle
face
.
This
spectacle
deprived
our
hero
of
his
last
remnants
of
reason
.
At
this
moment
he
would
have
fought
for
the
Inquisition
,
and
with
a
good
conscience
.
The
door
suddenly
opened
.
The
little
chapel
was
blazing
with
light
.
More
than
a
thousand
candles
could
be
seen
before
the
altar
,
divided
into
eight
lines
and
separated
from
each
other
by
bouquets
of
flowers
.
The
suave
odour
of
the
purest
incense
eddied
out
from
the
door
of
the
sanctuary
.
The
chapel
,
which
had
been
newly
gilded
,
was
extremely
small
but
very
high
.
Julien
noticed
that
there
were
candles
more
than
fifteen
feet
high
upon
the
altar
.
The
young
girls
could
not
restrain
a
cry
of
admiration
.
Only
the
twenty
-
four
young
girls
,
the
two
curés
and
Julien
had
been
admitted
into
the
little
vestibule
of
the
chapel
.
Soon
the
king
arrived
,
followed
by
Monsieur
de
la
Mole
and
his
great
Chamberlain
.
The
guards
themselves
remained
outside
kneeling
and
presenting
arms
.
His
Majesty
precipitated
,
rather
than
threw
himself
,
on
to
the
stool
.
It
was
only
then
that
Julien
,
who
was
keeping
close
to
the
gilded
door
,
perceived
over
the
bare
arm
of
a
young
girl
,
the
charming
statue
of
St
.
Clement
.
It
was
hidden
under
the
altar
,
and
bore
the
dress
of
a
young
Roman
soldier
.
It
had
a
large
wound
on
its
neck
,
from
which
the
blood
seemed
to
flow
.
The
artist
had
surpassed
himself
.
The
eyes
,
which
though
dying
were
full
of
grace
,
were
half
closed
.
A
budding
moustache
adored
that
charming
mouth
which
,
though
half
closed
,
seemed
notwithstanding
to
be
praying
.
The
young
girl
next
to
Julien
wept
warm
tears
at
the
sight
.
One
of
her
tears
fell
on
Julien
’
s
hand
.
After
a
moment
of
prayer
in
the
profoundest
silence
,
that
was
only
broken
by
the
distant
sound
of
the
bells
of
all
the
villages
within
a
radius
of
ten
leagues
,
the
bishop
of
Agde
asked
the
king
’
s
permission
to
speak
.
He
finished
a
short
but
very
touching
speech
with
a
passage
,
the
very
simplicity
of
which
assured
its
effectiveness
:
