Chapter VIII
Richard Englefield listened to the Abbot’s assertion that making of inner vessels of gold for heaven’s use was of more import than were dishes for abbot’s table and for gifts. He agreed, but his mind said, “Since when did you find that out?” Moreover, he would miss his work. He missed it. When he came to confession he met another change,--namely, severity in penance.
