Chapter 43 Threatening Tears

  "Our donation Father Patrick.  Ma wrapped up some of the best food from the harvest."

 

   "Francis Frell, it is too much.  Surely your family has a greater need."

Chapter 42 Geoffrey's Plan

  "Henry as my heir there are certain things ye should know."

  "Such as how to beat me old man at a game of darts?"

  "No.  A very valuable goal my son, but that is not what I was aiming at."

Chapter 41 Very Noble Indeed

  "Why hello Lord Henry.  A mighty fine name ye be having.  It's the name of me eldest.  What brings you by me place this fine day?"

Chapter 40 Wordless Prayer

  Could this be the scroll I've been waiting for?

  Lord Alexander unrolled the scroll with care.

  "Father!  Henry!"

Chapter 39 Bonds of Cheese

  'O God who has forgiven thine humble servant, please grant me peace,' Alexander prayed silently.  He took a slow deep breath as he moved his prayerful hands skyward and slid his foot up to his knee.

Chapter 38 What is a Harem?

  "Lord Abdul Scorpion, what is your home like?  Is it so different from Rosewood?"

Chapter 37 The Answer to His Question

  "Chip!  There ye be.  It has been a long while has it not?  I haven't seen ye since yer pa hadn't a gray hair upon his head!"

Chapter 36 Losing a Sister

"I am sorry for your loss Clover."

  "Thank ye Father Patrick," Clover replied thickly.  She felt like she should say something more but knew not what.  "Thank ye for giving my sister a funeral....and for bringing all the monks by today.  Surely it is a comfort to mama."

  Why did I say that?  I jest want them to all go away.  Now that I thanked him they will probably stay longer.
