The King's Deryni (2014)
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant . . .”
—MATTHEW 25:21 ANDREW McLain Duke of Cassan lingered for another month, in and out of sleep, never speaking, taking but little nourishment, wasting to a frail shadow of the fierce warrior he once had been. His womenfolk made him as comfortable as they could—his wife of more than half a century, his only remaining sister, and his devoted daughter-in-law—but it became increasingly clear that this was the duke’s final battle, in which victory wo...uld not be his. In the final days, his sleep became more fitful, his breathing shallower. Toward the very end, a few at a time, his grandchildren and nieces and nephews were brought to his bedside by Jared to say their last good-byes.
He passed peacefully on the afternoon of the first day of August, surrounded by his extended family, lucid enough in his final hour to give a last blessing to his son and heir; he had long since received the last rites of his faith, the viaticum to sustain him in his final journey.MoreLess
