Bishop Longshire, sitting nearly recumbant in a large and very padded chair, held a small ball of felt against the inside bend of his elbow, staunching the flow of blood. The infirmarian, a slight Benedictine monk named Alain, lifted a small stoneware bowl, now full of Longshire's blood, and turned to leave.
