They shut themselves up, - they prostrated themselves before the shrines of the saints, -tbey occupied them selves whole hours ln taking minutes of their consciences, and magnifying the tri vial defects of conventual discipline into offences in the eye of God, in order to give consequence to their' penitence in the hearing of the confessor, -in fact, they would have been glad to accuse themselves of a crime, to escape from the monotony of a xmonastic conscience. There was a kind of silent bustle in the house, that very much favoured my pur poses. Hour after hour I demanded pa per for my confession. I obtained it, but my frequent demands excited suspicion.
