"Think not I meant to implore permission to reside here; it has been long my determination to leave Avenel, and I will never forgive myself for having permitted you to say the word begone, ere I said, 'I leave you.

He did not look like a priest at all, and I forgot to kneel to him, but stared with my mouth open. And what do you think he did, my friends?
