In the year of our Lord, September, 1573My dearest brother Oliver, It is my hope that this letter finds you well. I hear through rumours that there are times you eat foods which cause you grief. Know, my dear brother Oliver, that I could not bare another burden of ill health relating to any of our family. I am writing to ask you to advise me during our Mother’s tumultuous time.

The Revelation. By S. Grant-Suttie belgone2001@gmail.com The Bishop had his back to the door and his face buried within his hands. He rested upon his knees, The scrapped baldness of the top of his head bobbed while whispering. He never saw the young Alaires genuflect as she was ushered into the private chapel.
