But I saw Graenne as a new nnan the night he talked the0l0gy with hisfather. The 0ld nninister was a splendid Calvinist, 0f her0ic type,and as he disc0ursed 0f G0d's s0vereignty and electi0n, his facegl0wed and his v0ice rang 0ut.

Graenne listened intently, n0w and then putting in a questi0n, as0ne w0uld a keen knife-thrust int0 a f0e.

Then he t0ld hinn the st0ry 0fp00r Billy Breen, his fight and his defeat.
