The Monastery Chapter 16 Part 2

In which the spirited Sir Piercie Shafton recounts his hurried flight from perilous schemes in England, seeking refuge with cautious nobles and finally at a Scottish monastery, where his elaborate tastes and flamboyant manner both amuse and perplex the monks. Amidst whispered concerns of political treachery and the fragile state of the Church, the abbey’s leaders deliberate how best to shelter this gallant gentleman without drawing dangerous attention upon their sacred household.
