The Dalwich Desecration (2016)
“Colin and I were standing just inside the Whitmore Abbey infirmary, a compact building set a short distance behind the main monastery at the edge of the wheat and barley fields that stretched out beyond it. The infirmary was painted the same dusky white as the main structure and also had a roof of thick, deep, yellow thatch that sagged in spots and appeared thinner in others than would truly seem needed to effectively banish the outdoors from within. Only the monastery’s small chapel had an act...ual tile roof, clearly defining that which the monks, indeed the church itself, believed most valuable.
Our morning had progressed exactly as Colin had said it would. We dressed, I disheveled the bed in the other room, breakfast was dispensed with all due haste, and we managed to complete the trek to Whitmore Abbey in a brisk twenty minutes. The last feat was as much the result of Colin’s relentless pace as the mostly flat terrain. All of it, I understood without Colin’s having to say it, had been undertaken to ensure we got as much accomplished as possible before the local constable showed up.MoreLess
