Grail Knight: Number 5 In Series (Outlaw Chronicles) - Plot & Excerpts
I told him no, and had some difficulty in keeping my temper. I am not a pauper, it is true, and Westbury has been bountiful in the past few years, but I will not throw good money away on this ridiculous form of ostentation – and for a fake as well. By God’s mercy, I managed to restrain myself from telling him the true base nature of his absurd ‘relic’ – but I sent him away from my hall with a few choice expressions of my wrath ringing in his ears. However, yesterday, on All Saints’ Day, that bouncing tonsured puppy preached a long homily in church all about the flask and the blessed St Luke and the power of prayer. He exhorted the villagers to pray before it and ask for whatever they wished and, he said, if they had sufficient faith in miracles, St Luke would help them. Then he had the God-damned effrontery to lead the congregation in a prayer for a casket to house the flask. He said that God would surely grant us this gaudy trinket – which would cost no more than twelve pounds – if we prayed hard enough and believed with all our hearts that the miracle would occur.
