The Last Templar
“What did they have to say?”“Not much, really,” said Simon with a small frown as he thought again about his conversation with the monk. He quickly told them what he had learned. “At least we know the abbot’s name now. He was called Oliver de Penne.”“Oliver de Penne? Never heard of him,” said Black, ruminatively shaking his head.“No, neither have I. I’m sure he was not from around here, I think he must have been as French as his name suggests.”Black puckered his brow restlessly. “It just seems od...d that he should have been killed like that.”Simon’s face registered scowling concentration, and then his wife saw his brow clear as he stared past Black’s shoulder to the wall behind, musing. Glancing back at John Black again, she saw that the hunter’s face showed a mounting exasperation and dejection, as if he was already almost thinking that they had lost, that they would never find the killers, and when she looked back to her husband she could not help a brief flare of pride at the contrast.Margaret had married Simon not because she had realised that he would become a powerful man in the shire, but because she could see in him the same incisiveness that her father had possessed.MoreLess
