Hilary Mantel Quote
These are good days for him: every day a fight he can win. Still serving your Hebrew God, I see, remarks Sir Thomas More. I mean, your idol Usury. But when More, a scholar revered through Europe, wakes up in Chelsea to the prospect of morning prayers in Latin, he wakes up to a creator who speaks the swift patois of the markets; when More is settling in for a session of self-scourging, he and Rafe are sprinting to Lombard Street to get the day’s exchange rates.
