eight chairs, distributed along the four
walls, completed the furniture.
Two small doors opposite one another
at one end of the rooms led from the
outside to the private parlors of the
Pope.
Tt was 1850 a. m. when we entered
same guards with the captain, a little
differently dressed and wearing three
decorations. He spoke a few words to
us and we felt instantaneously at
home This is the hall of the bishops
and priests and we were seated imme-
diately. Opposite to us was an Ar
menian bishop and a monk, his COM
panion. Later on a layman came in
and waited for his turn. The guards
are walking up and down the room and
at once an electric bell gave the sig
nal of the audience to the Bishop. The
major-domo made sign and the Bishop
followed. Out of courtesy and respect
we (the Father Procurator and MYSELF
waited in the room. After fifteen min
utes another signal of the bell and the
major- domo conducted us in the presence
of the Sovereign Pontiff. We passed
again to number of rooms, much
smaller than the first one, until we
were brought face to face in presence
of Plus X The room is large, with a
high ceiling and few chairs around an
ordinary writing desk, where the
pontiff was seated, having our Bishop
on his right.
Upon entering the room we made
nearer where the Pope was now stand-
ing. greeting US with a smile. 1mmedi-
ately he presented his ring and shook
hands, but did not give the oppor-
tunity of kissing his foot as is custom

Immediately: 'Surgite' (stand up),

have you?) These We're the religious
objects we brought along to be blessed
and to be distributed later TO our
friends; "Bene, benedicantur omnia'
omnia" Gall will be blessed), making
the same time the sign of the cross
over them. At this moment the Bishop
presented to his Holiness six or seven
photos of the Pope himself and looking
over them he wrote a few words un-
derneath and his signature. At this
moment nothing was said.
