On other occasions , when Monsieur le Cure , on his way back after administering the viaticum to some sick person in the neighbourhood , caught sight of Charles playing about the fields , he called him , lectured him for a quarter of an hour and took advantage of the occasion to make him conjugate his verb at the foot of a tree . The rain interrupted them or an acquaintance passed . All the same he was always pleased with him , and even said the `` young man '' had a very good memory . * A devotion said at morning , noon , and evening , at the sound of a bell . Here , the evening prayer . Charles could not go on like this . Madame Bovary took strong steps .
