Synopsis
Excerpt from Nigel's Vocation
His heart gave a great leap when an Old lay brother, with a long white beard, came stepping carefully across the freshly dug beds of the vegetable garden to announce that his presence was required by the Lord Abbot. Such a summons was not usual what could it portend? Might it not be that at this happy Eastertide and on the conclusion Of the long Lenten fast, wherein he had not incurred many rebukes, it had at length been decided to give him hope? Hitherto the Abbot had been chary of words, chary of encouragement; if he was about to Speak now, surely it would be to say something definite! But Brother Anselm, taught by experience, asked no questions. A few strides brought him within the building, and as he hurried along bare, echoing corridors, he struggled, as he had so Often struggled before, to bring that tell-tale visage of his under control, for well he knew that any display of emotion would be instantly noted and disapproved of by the ever-vigilant eyes that surrounded him.
