with it� ─�he cried。 

     ;But   Santa   YsabeI   del   Mar   is   a   long   way   from   the   whole   world�察─�

murmured Padre Ignacio。 

     ;Indeed�察�it would not appear to be so�察─�returned young Gaston。 ;I think 

the Comedie Francaise must be round the corner。; 

     A thrill went through the priest at the theater's name。 ;And have you 

been long in America�拭─�he asked。 

     ;Why�察�alwaysexcept two years of foreign travel after college。; 

     ;An American� ─�exclaimed the surprised Padre�察�with perhaps a tone of 

disappointment   in   his   voice。   ;But   no Americans   who   are   yet   come   this 

way   have   beenhave   been;he   veiled   the   too´blunt   expression   of   his 

thought;have been familiar with The Huguenots�察─�he finished�察�making a 

slight bow。 

     Villere    took   his  under´meaning。       ;I  come    from    New     Orleans�察─   �he 

returned�察 �and in New Orleans there live many of us who can recognize a´

´who   can   recognize   good   music   wherever   we   hear   it。;   And   he   made   a 

slight bow in his turn。 

     The Padre laughed outright with pleasure and laid his hand upon the 

young   man's   arm。   ;You   have   no   intention   of   going   away   to´morrow�察  �I 

trust�拭─�

     ;With your leave�察─�answered Gaston�察 �I will have such an intention no 

longer。; 

     It was with the air and gait of mutual understanding that the two now 

walked   on   together   toward   the   Padre's   door。 The   guest   was   twenty´five�察�

the host sixty。 

     ;And have you been in America long�拭─�inquired Gaston。 

     ;Twenty years。; 

     ;And at Santa Ysabel how long�拭─�

     ;Twenty years。; 

     ;I should have thought�察─�said Gaston�察�looking lightly at the desert and 

unpeopIed   mountains�察   �that   now   and   again   you   might   have   wished   to 

travel。; 

     ;Were I your age�察─�murmured Padre Ignacio�察 �it might be so。; 

     The evening had now ripened to the long after´glow of sunset。 The sea 

was the purple of grapes�察�and wine´colored hues flowed among the high 

shoulders of the mountains。 

     ;I   have   seen   a   sight   like   this�察─  �said   Gaston�察   �between   Granada   and 

Malaga。; 

     ;So you know Spain� ─�said the Padre。 

     Often he had thought of this resemblance�察�but never till now met any 

one to share his thought。 The courtly proprietor of San Fernando and the 

other   patriarchal   rancheros   with   whom   he   occasionally   exchanged   visits 

across     the  wilderness     knew    hospitality    and   inherited    gentle   manners�察�

sending to Europe for silks and laces to give their daughters�察�but their eyes 

had not looked upon Granada�察�and their ears had never listened to William 

Tell。 

     ;It is quite singular�察─�pursued Gaston�察 �how one nook in the world will 

suddenly   remind   you   of   another   nook   that   may   be   thousands   of   miles 

away。 One morning�察�behind the Quai Voltaire�察�an old�察�yellow house with

rusty balconies made me almost homesick for New Orleans。; 

     ;The Quai Voltaire� ─�said the Padre。 

     ;I heard Rachel in Valerie that night�察─�the young man went on。 ;Did 

you    know     that   she   could   sing�察  �too。   She   sang    several   verses    by   an 

astonishing little Jew violon´cellist that is come up over there。; 

     The     Padre    gazed    down     at  his   blithe   guest。   ;To    see   somebody�察�

somebody�察�once again�察�is very pleasant to a hermit� ─�

     ;It cannot be more pleasant than arriving at an oasis�察─�returned Gaston。 

     They had delayed on the threshold to look at the beauty of the evening�察�

and now the priest watched his parishioners come and go。 ;How can one 

make   companions;   he   began�察  �then�察  �checking   himself�察  �he   said�此   �Their 

souls are as sacred and immortal as mine�察�and God helps me to help them。 

But in this world it is not immortal souls that we choose for companions�察�

it is kindred tastes�察�intelligences�察�andand so I and my books are growing 

old together�察�you see�察─�he added�察�more lightly。 ;You will find my volumes 

as behind the times as myself。; 

     He had   fallen into   talk   more   intimate   than   he   wished�察�and   while the 

guest was uttering something polite about the nobility of missionary work�察�

he placed him in an easy´chair and sought aguardiente for his immediate 

refreshment。 Since the year's beginning there had been no guest for him to 

bring into his rooms�察�or to sit beside him in the high seats at table�察�set apart 

for the gente fina。 

     Such   another   library   was   not   then   in   California�察  �and   though   Gaston 

Villere�察  �in   leaving   Harvard   College�察  �had   shut   Horace   and   Sophocles   for 

ever at the earliest instant possible under academic requirements�察�he knew 

the Greek and Latin names that he now saw as well as he knew those of 

Shakspere�察  �Dante�察  �Moliere�察  �and   Cervantes。   These   were   here   also�察  �but   it 

could   not be precisely  said   of them�察  �either�察  �that they  made   a   part   of   the 

young man's daily reading。 As he surveyed the Padre's august shelves�察�it 

was   with   a   touch   of   the   histrionic   Southern   gravity   which   his   Northern 

education had not wholly schooled out of him that he said�此�

     ;I fear I am no scholar�察�sir。 But I know what writers every gentleman 

ought to respect。; 

     The polished Padre bowed gravely to this compliment。                    It was when 



                                                10

                        PADRE IGNACIO Or The Song of Temptation 



his eyes caught sight of the music that the young man felt again at ease�察�

and     his   vivacity     returned    to   him。    Leaving      his   chair�察  �he    began 

enthusiastically to examine the tall piles that filled one side of the room。 

The     volumes     lay  piled   and   scattered    everywhere�察     �making     a  pleasant 

disorder�察�and�察�as perfume comes from a flower�察�memories of singers and 

chandeliers   rose   bright   from   the   printed   names。   Norma�察  �Tancredi�察  �Don 

Pasquale�察�La Vestale�察�dim lights in the fashions of to´day�察�sparkled upon 

the   exploring   Gaston�察  �conjuring   the   radiant   halls   of   Europe   before   him。 

;The Barber of Seville� ─�he presently exclaimed。 ;And I happened to hear 

it in Seville。; 

     But    Seville's   name    brought    over    the  Padre    a  new    rush   of  home 

thoughts。 ;Is not Andalusia beautiful�拭─�he said。 ;Did you see it in April�察�

when the flowers come�拭─�

     ;Yes�察─�said Gaston�察�among the music。 ;I was at Cordova then。; 

     ;Ah�察�Cordova� ─�murmured the Padre。 

     ;Semiramide� ─  �cried   Gaston�察  �lighting   upon   that   opera。   ;That   was   a 

week� ─�I should like to live it over�察�every day and night of it� ─�

     ;Did you reach Malaga from Marseilles or Gibraltar�拭─�asked the Padre�察�

wistfully。 

     ;From   Marseilles。   Down   from   Paris   through   the   Rhone   Valley�察  �you 

know。; 

     ;Then you saw Provence� �And did you go�察�perhaps�察�from Avignon to 

Nismes by the Pont du Gard�拭�There is a place I have made herea little�察�

little   placewith    olive´trees。   And    now    they   have   grown�察   �and   it  looks 

something like that country�察�if you stand in a particular position。 I will take 

you there to´morrow。 I think you will understand what I mean。; 

     ;Another resemblance� ─�said the volatile and happy Gaston。 ;We both 

seem to have an eye for them。 But�察�believe me�察�Padre�察�I could never stay 

here planting olives。 I should go back and see the original onesand then 

I'd hasten on to Paris。; 

     And�察�with a volume of Meyerbeer open in his hand�察�Gaston
