“That's just it. It is not one of our men." Donald's head jerked toward him. "Who then, Rufus?" "Jacq," he spit out her name like a curse. "What?" Donald peered through the darkness to the campfire, now glowing dimmer. "You are imagining things, my lord." "It is she. I'm certain." "Damnation." Donald echoed Rufus' original curse. His expression however reflected his awe. "Rufus, does your woman even know she is a woman?" ............ "When you tire of her, I'm going to marry her," Donald promised reverently.”

“Back home, my favorite part of Mass was during communion, when I'd stand at the rail and hold a little gold platter under people's chins. The pretty girls would line up for communion (I confess to Almighty God). They'd kneel (and to you my brothers and sisters), cast their eyes demurely down (I have sinned through my own fault), and stick out their tongues (in my thoughts and in my words). Their tongues would shine, reflected in the gold platter, and since the wafer was dry, the girls would maybe lick their lips (and I ask Blessed Mary ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you my brothers and sisters) before they swallowed (to pray for me to the Lord our God). It was all I could do not to pass out.”
