Franciscans are celebrating eleven years of their
existence as an order, but they must take refuge below
some reed mats. St. Dominick invites them to enter. When
they are seated in the refectory, "twenty beautiful
young men wait on them with much food, and once this is
done, they vanish". On a little table one sees an American cane basket with fruit.
