Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Betrothed, Vol. 2
You know, probably, already, better than I do, what kind of a man he was as a layman, and the life he led in his yout.' It is one of the glories of our habit, Signor Count, that a man who has given ever so much occasion in the world for men to talk about him, becomes a different person when he has assumed this dress. And ever since Father Cristoforo has worn the habit.
I would gladly believe it, I assure you - I would gladly believe it; but sometimes as the proverb says It is not the cowl that makes the friar.'
