She asked me if I had offeredthe priest the amount of the masses which he had promised to say?"No, " I said, "the idea never occurred to me; but even if it had, Ishould not have dared to do it, for fear of offending him. It is notusual", I added scornfully, "to pay before one is served. No one everpays me for a saddle before I make it. " "No matter, " replied youraunt, "my advice to you is to return to the priest, and offer to payfor the masses which you have ordered. " I did as she advised me,... and this time my request was favourablyreceived. The priest seized the six-franc piece which I laid on thetable, looked at me and said, "Do you wish me to say six?" "No, "I replied, with a feeling of indignation which I could hardlyrepress--"No, sir, I only want three. Return to me the rest of themoney; poor folks cannot afford to spend so much at once. " I left the priest, thoroughly ashamed of having contributed to gratifyhis cupidity, and very much disposed to think the religion we weretaught was nothing but a tissue of fables and impostures, to which thethirst of gold and silver had given birth.
