The good old woman read with unction and when she had finished the commentaries looked again at her niece, who turned her head slowly to the other side.
"Bah!" said Aunt Isabel to herself.

"With taking His holy name in vain the poor child has nothing to do.

Let's pass on to the third." [122] The third commandment was analyzed and commented upon.

After citing all the cases in which one can break it she again looked toward the bed.

But now she lifted up her glasses and rubbed her eyes, for she had seen her niece raise a handkerchief to her face as if to wipe away tears.
"Hum, ahem! The poor child once went to sleep during the sermon." Then replacing her glasses on the end of her nose, she said, "Now let's see if, just as you've failed to keep holy the Sabbath, you've failed to honor your father and mother." So she read the fourth commandment in an even slower and more snuffling voice, thinking thus to give solemnity to the act, just as she had seen many friars do.
