Josef, he made the best of his way thither.
The governor, having notified his womankind of the whale-catchingcaptain's invitation, proceeded to hold grave and high communicationwith Father Josef, his ghostly counsellor, and the keeper of hisconscience.
Father Josef was a priest, turned of fifty; and, like most of theSpanish American clergy, who are turned of fifty, and are of any thinglike fair standing for sanctity, was somewhat rotund about the abdominalregions, and of an apoplectic appearanc...e; that is, his head was firmlyplunged down, and imbedded between his shoulders, without being plaguedwith the intervening isthmus of neck, which is so expensive to modernfashionable ladies and gentlemen, being considered by one sex as a partof the body expressly created to hang neck-laces, gold chains, and lacepelerines upon; and by the other, as intended merely as a place oflodgment for the stock and shirt-collar. This priest's nose and cheeksbore a large and bountiful crop of, what are sometimes called, "thefruits of good living;" indeed, his parochial duties were not of a kindcalculated to mortify the flesh; and as his church was well endowed, andhe received many presents from the wealthy members of his flock, it wasnot a matter of wonder, that he enjoyed such creature-comforts as lay inhis way; and the Catholic clergy are generally possessed of a sufficientdegree of modest asurance in taking possession of them.
