At the Queen's Summons (2009)
“I am not supposed to feel the dark prescience of disaster deep in my bones, for that smacks of paganism and is an affront to He who made us all.Still, there are times when I am forced to admit that the ancients do whisper secrets in my unsuspecting ear, and of late the secrets disturb me.There is mischief afoot in Killarney town and at Ross Castle. I have no reason to know this except that the chill in my brittle old bones tells me so. That, and the shifty way the bride of the O Donoghue refuse...d to look at me when I went up to the keep to lead the rogation processional. Our “pagan” ceremonies do offend her Puritan sensibilities, but she displayed more than her usual hatred and distrust.The bishop has promised, at last, to help. It was a marriage that never should have been. In point of fact, it is no marriage at all. I shall send good news to Aidan regarding the annulment.Meanwhile, the rebellion of which I wrote so urgently to the O Donoghue Mór has been suppressed by Lord Constable Browne; I shudder to think how ruthlessly.MoreLess
