Brother Dominic now rose to try, as he said, to bring an atmosphere of reasonableness into the discussion. Whatever my personal feelings were about closing the Sandgate priory, I recognized at once that the Reverend Father was right.

The bee, of course, had gone. I looked for that cyclist, but he was already out of sight as we came into the Upper Sandgate Road or hidden from us by traffic; the char-a-banc, however, with its people now all alive and stirring, was clattering along at a spanking pace almost abreast of the nearer church.
Father Burrowes was even more successful as a preacher than he hoped; ascribing the steady flow of offertories to Divine favour, he instituted during the next four years, priories at Aldershot and Sandgate.
He was a dreamer by nature and loved the music of running brooks, the rustling of winds in the forest, and the song of birds.
