What a surprise to hear of a St. Francis pretending to play the violin with a piece of wood and a ruler to amuse his brethren; of a St. Teresa playing the flute on feast days; of a St. Philip Neri, whom Professor Joly does not hesitate to call a "humoristic saint"; of a St. Chrispino of Viterbo, a most decided enemy of sadness in any shape, so much so that he was always laughing or smiling.
