“No, that’s why I told you,” said John. Mother hugged him to her and kissed him. “But that was a horrible present, John,” she said, pointing to the whistle. He departed in the morning, very well pleased with the accommodating principles of monastic religion. He had been told that the enjoyment of the good things of this life was the surest sign of our gratitude to Heaven; and it appeared, that within the walls of a Sicilian monastery, the precept and the practice were equally enforced. "You are right; they would indeed laugh to see a Cindertail at the ball!".
