The fact of Fedalma's dancing to the gaze of pro-
mscuous vulgar crowd is indignantly made known
to Don Silva by Isidor ecclesiastical pOtentate of
the seyerest mold holy high-born, stern Domini-
can who resenblod the common herd Of deyout
Iuquisitors as "a black eagle with gold beak and

The reproaches Of the priest worked, like poison,
on the generous nature of Don Silva. He is repre-
scented as a model of the stately, and at the same
time, ardent Spanish gentleman. with high
thoughts seated in soul OF courtesy" he held ms
love as the precious jewel of his life al graceful OBJ
servances waited upon its expression; he was scru-
pulous in garb, and men, and speech, to do justice
50 its tender delcacy; though born with lusty, ex-
acting senses that borrowed vehomence from the
fires of imagination. At once genial and naughty
grave and exctable: now deyout even to enthusiasm
and now lost in the of skepicism often yield
ing his fmest purposes to the tide of passion too
strongly individual TO obey a rule; and too much
addicted TO subtle quesiOnings to exercise masteryj
but always noble, brave handsome, with the fresh
ness Of youthful love breathing hissou along the
busiest pathways of official routine. To the cal
umnies Of Isidor, who ventures TO assert that
-T That maideu's blood
Is a unchristan as the leOpards,
Don Silva whose wrath is too strong for any pretenso
to reverence replies:

Upon this, Silva PUSHES to the apartment Of
Fedalma, which he finds empty, and in terrible ag-
tation, the "lcprous distmcnt' Of the priest sinks
more and more deeply into his soul.
