You see for yourself, master; I am examining the cutting of these stones, and the style of this bas–relief.”
The priest smiled faintly, but with that scornful smile which only curls one corner of the mouth. “And that amuses you?”
“It is paradise!”exclaimed Gringoire. And bending over the stone carvings with the fascinated air of a demonstrator of living phenomena — “For example,”he said, “look at this bas–relief: do you not consider its execution a marvel of skill, delicacy, and patience? Look at this small column: where would you find a capital whose leaves were more daintily entwined or more tenderly treated by the chisel? Here are three round alto–relievos by Jean Maillevin. They are not the finest examples of that great genius; nevertheless, the childlike simplicity, the sweetness of the faces, the sportive grace of the attitudes and the draperies, and the indefinable charm which is mingled with all the imperfections, makes the little figures wonderfully airy and delicate — perhaps almost too much so. You do not find that diverting?”
