The Monastery Chapter 34 Part 2
from The Walter Scott Library Hosted by Sir Walter Scott
In which the venerable Abbot Boniface, burdened by the tumultuous state of the Halidome and his own waning vigour, resolves to resign his office in favour of the more resolute Father Eustace, who promptly assumes the mantle of leadership amidst the looming threat of English invasion. The new Abbot-elect, with a mien both grave and steadfast, marshals his correspondences and efforts to rally allies, while employing even doubtful instruments like the audacious Christie of Clinthill to navigate the perilous path before them.
