Excerpt from The Commandment of Moses: A Novel
Maurya: It isn't that I haven't prayed for you, Bartley, to the Almighty God. It isn't that I haven't said prayers in the dark night till you wouldn't know what I'd be say ing; but it's a great rest I'll have now, and it's time, surely. It's a great rest I'll have now, and great sleep ing in the long nights after Samhain, if it's only a bit of wet flour we do have to eat, and maybe a fish that would be stinking.
