Knight Errant: A Highland Passage Novel - Plot & Excerpts
The abbot seemed far more inclined to engage in light conversation than Robert, who was too caught up in his personal grief to contribute to any discussion. Besides which, it felt strange to be with him after seeing him in the past. That visit had been brief enough that the abbot was unlikely to remember it, but it had not been years for Robert. He would have to be careful not to let anything slip that might betray him or invite questions he could not easily answer. Thus on his guard, Robert remained aloof and gave the appearance of manners, waiting until he could retreat to his cell.Robert looked up to find Father Abbot peering expectantly at him. He had missed something. “I’m sorry. I didn’t—”The abbot offered a sympathetic smile. “’Tis not a bad life here, is it?”“No, I’ve had far better life than most, and I’m grateful for it.” He met the abbot’s steady gaze, but something flickered in the abbot’s eyes. It was gone before Robert could decipher it.The abbot rested his arms on the desk and leaned forward.
