332 THE SIX SISTERS OE THE VALLEYS. kneels on the stone where you are now standing." " Santissima Maria ! protect me," cried Mandolin, in an agony of fear. " What can I do?" " I could sprinkle the place with holy water," said the Abbot, " for at the very scent of it the devil turns tail like a coward, and skeletons also, or I could watch with you, or lend you my crucifix. For myself," continued the Abbot, after a pause, " I have no fears ; for the holy tooth of St. Francis, which I carry with me, would pre- serve me, though a thousand devils were about me." " Oh, lend me your toe or your tooth, Holy Father, if only for a short time, for I feel in such a fright. My hair stands on end." " You may well fear, having no holy relic. But who is your prisoner ?" " I don't know. Soldiers should have no ears nor eyes, but must simply obey
THE SENTET. 333 orders. I was told to look after him, as he was likely to be strung up before long." " Unhappy prisoner," said Malvicino. " Does he know his hours are numbered ? Mandolin, he has a soul. It is my business to see after his soul. I must confess him, and administer absolution." " I was ordered not to admit any one near him," said the soldier, doggedly, whose sense of duty had now returned, and had helped to overcome his subsiding terrors. " Your orders were right," replied Mal- vicino, "but I am spiritual, and not secu- lar. Laws, you know, do not bind the Church. The man must have the minis- trations of the priest. Have you not a soul, and do you not wish to be saved ? This man's blood will be on you if you do not let me confess him, and you will hear his groans next to you in purgatory. ^Ye must not have him go into the next world unshriven, you understand."
