As the Aislings watched, a beautiful, turquoise-blue, embroidered silk banner lifted into the growing breeze.
On it were the words 'Credendo Vides.'
'Credendo vides,' the professor said, hardly able to believe what he had read. 'By believing, one sees.'
'What nonsense!' said Miranda.
'Daddy?' asked Cassandra, 'Isn't it supposed to be 'seeing is believing'?'
'Well,' began the professor.
'It all depends, Miss, on how you look at it,' answered Sebastian.

vides- second person singular present tense of video (to seem)
credendo- gerundive form of credo (to believe)
so; you seem believing (i.e. you seem to be a believer, or possibly you seem gullible).
