He belongedto the Order of the Jesuits; and he was good enough, when I first askedhim for advice, to suggest that I should get up at eleven o'clock atnight to say my prayers, and should remain absorbed in devotion untilmidnight. In obedience to the directions of this saintly person, I keptmyself awake as well as I could till eleven o'clock. I then got on myknees with great fervour, and I blush to confess it, immediately fell asfast asleep as a dormouse. This went on for several nights, when Fat...herDeveaux finding that my midnight devotions were rather too much for me, was so obliging as to prescribe another species of pious exercise, ina letter which he wrote to me with his own hand. The holy father, afterdeeply regretting my inability to keep awake, informed me that he hada new act of penitence to suggest to me by the performance of which Imight still hope to expiate my sins. He then, in the plainest terms, advised me to have recourse to the discipline of flagellation, everyFriday, using the cat-o'-nine-tails on my bare shoulders for the lengthof time that it would take to repeat a Miserere.
