Bernard Cornwell Quote

I forgot to mention, Father Christopher said, smiling seraphically at Sir Martin, that I am also a priest. So let me offer you a blessing. He pulled out a golden crucifix that had been hidden beneath his shirt and held it toward Lord Slayton’s men. May the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ, he said, comfort and sustain you while you take your farting mouths and your turd-reeking presence out of our sight. He waved a sketchy cross toward the horsemen. And thus farewell.
