Excerpt from Father Eustace, Vol. 1: A Tale of the Jesuits
Father Ambrose, who had for nineteen years been the resident chaplain and confessor of Cuthbert Castle, was now performing this midnight mass, while two little boys, converts from the neighbouring village, were doing their best towards enabling their popish patron to die in the odour of sanctity, by diligently flinging rich clouds of incense into the air.
