"You say you have renounced the world, and you are full of worldly pride.

If you really wished to renounce the world, you should have tried to become a novice! Why did you not attempt this?
You wished to come here _in villeggiatura_, for an outing, that is the truth of the matter.

Or perhaps you were under certain obligations at home, there were certain troublesome matters--you know what I mean! _Nec nominentur in nobis_.

And you wished to rid yourself of these troubles, only to get yourself into fresh ones.

You tell stories to that simple-minded Don Clemente; you usurp the place of a poor pilgrim; and perhaps--eh ?--you hoped with prayers and sacraments to throw dust in the eyes of the monks, which is an easy matter enough, and even in the eyes of the Almighty Himself, which is a far more difficult matter.
