Página 147 - Do you remain, rny father," she said ; " I will go. My holy character will awe these men, my tears move them ; trust me, I swear that I will save my sister." Andrea yielded to her superior courage and energy. The nuns of Santa Chiara when out of their convent do not usually wear their monastic habit, but dress simply in a black gown. Maria, however, had brought her nun's habiliments with her, and thinking thus to impress the soldiers with respect, she now put it on.

Página 151 - Anina stood by, weeping and helpless, hardly hearing her sister's injunctions to return speedily to their father, and under his guidance to seek sanctuary. The guard now opened the door. Anina clung to her sister in terror, while she, in soothing tones, entreated her to calm herself. The soldier said they must delay no longer, for the priest had arrived to confess the prisoner. To Anina the idea of confession associated with death was terrible ; to Maria it brought hope. She whispered in a smothered...
