" jeered the urchins.
" Daren't I? " said Antiochus with magnifi- cent scorn.
" No, you daren't ! And you think you're as good as the Lord Himself because you're carry- ing the holy oil ! " " If I were you, " advised one open-minded youth, " I should make off with that box and perform all kinds of sorceries with the holy oil. " " Be off, you horse-fly ! The devil that came out of Nina Masia's body has entered into yours ! " " What's that? The devil? " cried the boys in chorus.
" Yes, " said Ant...iochus solemnly, " this very afternoon he drove out a devil from the body of Nina Masia. Here she comes. " The widow, leading the little girl by the hand, was just coming out of the presbytery; the boys all rushed to meet her and in one mo- ment the news of the miracle spread through the village. Then occurred a scene which recalled that which had taken place on the first THE MOTHER 127 arrival of the priest. The whole population assembled together in the square and Nina Masia was placed by her mother on the top step before the church door, where she sat, thin and brown-skinned, with her green eyes and the red kerchief over her head, looking like some primitive idol set up to be worshipped by those simple and credulous country folk.
