The Masons Of The Middle Ages.
was seated before her design , and she began to work . Whilst pursuing her occupation , she prayed that God would have pity upon her , and not permit the labours of her father to remain unfinished , and that He would graciously ordain that no other hands than those of her brother or her OAATI should complete them .
As , however , she prosecuted her Aveary task , her hand became heaAT " , her thoughts were obscured , her imagination embarrassed . The lines which she traced upon the parchment were unequal , AA anting even ordinary regularity . Sabina suffered intensely , —she sobbed aloud . At last her weary head sunk upon her left hand , her eyes closed , her
pencil fell from her hand—and she slept What then piassed no one will ever know . On the morrow , when the first rays of the sun pierced the casement of her chamber , Sabina aAvoke from her long slumber . No sooner had her eyes fixed themselves upon the sheet of parchment before her , than she uttered a cry of joy , and her face brightened , as if she had seen a vision .
CHAPTER V .
THE TRIUMPH OF SABINA . DURING the night , an invisible hand had traced a superb design upon the parchment , which Sabina had left almost a blank before sleep overpoAvered her , from which the magnificent entrance of the Cathedral of Strasburg , which Ave
admire to the present day , originated . Sabina again and again rubbed her eyes , to convince herself that she Avas not labouring under a delusion . She thought that the dream of the night had folloAved her into reality , but she was quickly assured that she slept no longer , when she touched the charming design , upon which her future
reputation and her triumph were written in dazzling characters . She could not restrain the tears of joy which she permitted to flow freely , and throwing herself on her knees , she thanked God in the fulness of her heart , for the mercy shown to her . Then , as if still in doubt that it Avere possible heaven had thus assented to work out a result for her so like a miracle ,
she seated herself once more at the table to collect her beAvildered thoughts , and looked with a feverish eye on thesplendid specimen of Gothic architecture spread before her .
