Veils were hung over the crucifixes, the consecrated Wafer of the Host was consumed by fire, the relics and images of the saints were carried into the crypts, and then the bishops, in the violet robes of mourning used on Good Friday, announced to the frightened multitude, in the name of Heaven, that the domains of John, King of England, were laid under the ban of the Church until he should have rendered submission to the Holy See.
Don't be afraid of tombstones," he scoffed; but he was conscious of a little shiver in his back. "They can't bite, you know.

"I'll give the signal; we had to arrange one, you know, for the sake of identity."
