The Monastery Chapter 10 Part 2
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the reverend Lord Abbot, with a mixture of gravity and gentle humour, listens to the confession of his Sub-Prior, revealing both the frailty and the pride that attend their spiritual duties within the monastery’s solemn walls. A discourse of humility and authority ensues, wherein wisdom is shared and discreetly concealed, fostering a newfound, if complex, amity between the Abbot and Father Eustace, as the burdens of office and sanctity weigh upon them alike.
