“You just told us that we must each come to Tyln’s worship on our own. I shall lead the boy by example but it is he who must make the compact. I�...m sure, if we are patient, we can bring him back to worship.”The Holy Sister’s mouth set firmly but she could not argue her own words. “Fine,” she said finally. “There is still the cost of his upkeep.
