“Did you see?’ said Brother John in Cadfael’s ear, pacing beside the sumpter mule. ‘Did you see how the beasts laboured towards that fellow not to escape the goad, only to go where he willed, only to please him? And such labour! That I should like to learn!’ ‘It’s labour for man as well as beast,’ said Brother Cadfael. ‘But for free goodwill! They wanted to go with him, to do what he wanted them to do. Brother, could devoted disciples do more? Do you tell me he takes no delight in what he does?’ ‘No man nor God who sees his faithful delight to serve him,’ said Brother Cafael patiently and carefully.” — Ellis Peters
