David Whitley biography, bibliography and reviews

True, the receivers themselves were only doing their job, but they reported to the Director. Well, I think that is all of the current patients, Theo said, soothingly. It looks like rain, and my assistant Benedicta is planning on an excellent stew. That will not be necessary, Poleyn said, brushing down her lapels with a look of disgust. I am satisfied for the moment that the fugitives are not here, but you shall, of course, be receiving regular visits.

Poleyn put down the rag and drew herself upright. Though Theo was almost a foot taller than her, Poleyn seemed to look down on him. I know what you are doing here, Doctor. How you offer shelter to the debtors and criminals. In happier times, I might have approved. But now… Poleyn looked troubled, and turned away. The Day of Judgment approaches, and we must all choose our sides….

That is none of your concern, Poleyn muttered, hastily, as though she had said more than she intended. Now, Doctor, I have other business to attend to…. Looking shaken, Poleyn retreated to the stairs out of the basement. For a tense moment, Mark and Theo listened as she scattered the debtors on the floor above. And then, with an air of finality, she slammed the door. No, thank you, Theo, Mark said, sincerely, jumping out of the cot, glad to stretch after hours spent curled up.

Do you still have that cloth?

Theo handed Mark the damp rag, and Mark began to scrub at his exposed skin, removing the milky film that they had painted on earlier. Before long, the signs of his illness were wiped away. I never thought hiding right in front of them would work, Mark continued as he soaked the cloth in a bucket of clean water. Not a word! For over a year! Your father has been moving heaven and earth looking for you…. Mark carried on washing, not quite sure what to say. How could he explain?

That had been his life for the last year and a half. It was hard to know where to start. Are you going to keep that cloth all day? Irritably, the young woman with the boils sat up in her cot. Sheepishly, Mark wrung out the rag and handed it over to Cherubina. She dabbed daintily at her face, dissolving the fake boils. She wrinkled her nose. Now that the inspector has gone, do we have to stay down here in the basement all day?

Patience, Miss Cherubina, Theo replied, cautiously. Inspector Poleyn well deserves her new position, and I am sure that she will send one of her men to watch the Temple for the next few days. I doubt that the Director is quite ready to call off the search.

The Stories and Spiritual Teachings of a Benedictine Monk

Cherubina blanched, and Mark winced. He had every reason to hate the Director. Snutworth had betrayed him, kidnapped him, and treated him like little more than a puppet. She had lived with him for over a year, half-prisoner, half-prize. Mark could not imagine what that had been like. That was how he thought, and he had the law of Agora on his side. Cherubina murmured, clearly shaken. A lot of them saw our arrival. Perhaps we can find a way to sneak you out.

Theo rubbed his temples, looking weary. His hair had receded even more, and his tall, spare frame seemed to sag with the weight of worry. And Mark imagined that his sudden arrival a few hours ago had not helped with that. Cherubina exclaimed. Not if her business were at risk… Cherubina trailed off, sadly. Wait a moment there! Theo said, firmly. It was not an unfriendly look, exactly. They had hacked them to pieces, shoving them down in the cellar before the receivers arrived.

It had only been an hour ago, but it was all still a blur. He wished Benedicta was still here now, fussing and grinning as she welcomed them back.

Mark had met Ben only once before, but that smile had stayed with him—the smile he had so little deserved and which she had given freely. But she had run off, minutes after he had arrived, saying she was going to find someone, and after that, they had all been too busy preparing for the receivers to sit and talk. Again, Mark marveled at how much someone could change in over a year. Laudate, known to his friends as Laud, had never been a particularly cheerful young man, but the pressures of running the Temple Almshouse had really taken their toll.

His long red hair was unkempt, and there was a scar above one eye from an old wound. Now that Mark had a chance to look at him properly, he could see a wariness in his tread that went beyond his usual cynicism. This was a young man who was used to the world dealing cruel blows, and his attitude at the moment was distinctly hostile.

Laud said, bitterly. Call it payment for hiding you from every receiver in the city.

He cast a cursory glance at Cherubina as he descended the stairs.
