...oral shields call Walter Scott vividly to mind. A group of little children, clad in white, and with wreaths of flowers on their heads, go by singing a hymn written for the occasion. But Ruprecht I is a staunch Catholic, and the representatives of the church must not be forgotten. Here come pale nuns from the convent on the Heiligenberg and stern-faced monks, with sandalled feet and rough, rope-girt robes and dark cowls; and in the midst of them rides a gorgeous Cardinal, the papal legate sent in honor of the occasion.

We trust that we shall hear no more of this disgraceful indifference on the part of eighty-nine, but that a few men will find time...
