Bernard Cornwell Quote
I put my hands over Saint Cuthbert's fingers and I could feel the big ruby ring under my own fingers, and I gave the jewel a twitch just to see whether the stone was loose and would come free, but it seemed well fixed in its setting. I swear to be your man, I said to the corpse, and to serve you faithfully. I tried to shift the ring again, but the dead fingers were stiff and the ruby did not move.
