The bees slept late, depleted their stores, and had to be fed, but neither was there any early burst of blossom for them to make fruitful. In the gardens there was no point in planting seed that would rot or be eaten in soil too chilly to engender life. The affairs of men, stricken with the The Rose Rent petrifying chill, seemed to have subsided into hibernation. Faction held its breath. King Stephen, after the first exhilaration of liberation from his prison, and the Easter journey north to draw together the frayed strings of his influence, had fallen ill in the south, so ill that the rumour of his death had spread throughout England, and his cousin and rival, the Empress Maud, had cautiously moved her headquarters to Oxford, and settled down there to wait patiently and vainly for him to make truth of rumour, which he stubbornly declined to do.

  • A True Detective 1
    Running Title: A TRUE DETECTIVE 1 A True Detective: A Book Report on The Confession of Brother Haluin John Smith University of Washington Author’s Note Written for English 1604: Genre Writing, taught by Professor Alex Wiht http://www.bestcustomwriting.com – We Write Your Paper, You Do What You Love! Running Title: A TRUE DETECTIVE 2 The Confession of Brother Haluin by Ellis Peters is from a series of detective novels centering on the adventures of Brother Cadfael, a 12th century English monk. Despite being tied to his abbey in the small village of Shrewsbury, Cadfael manages to find himself constantly embroiled in mysterious deaths and disappearances. In this, the fifteenth book of the series, Cadfael leaves the abbey to accompany a fellow monk, Broth Haluin, on a pilgrimage to ask for forgiveness for the sin the led him into religious service eighteen years earlier. It is on this journey that Cadfael stumbles across the murder of a servant and the long-kept secrets of a noble family. All of this adds up to a very classic detective novel: a complicated, high society murder, a curious savant ready to solve the case, and attention-grabbing cliffhangers. The story also incorporates elements of historical fiction as well as excellent writing. The most important aspect of the novel that marks it as a detective story is that it follows Ronald Knox’s main rule for detective fiction as laid out in his “ten commandments of detective fiction.” It has "as its main interest the unraveling of a mystery; a mystery whose elements are clearly presented to the reader at an early stage in the proceedings, and whose nature is such as to arouse curiosity, a curiosity which is gratified at the end" (“Ronald Knox”).

    The Virgin in the Ice The Sixth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury Ellis Peters Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten Chapter Eleven Chapter Twelve Chapter Thirteen Chapter Fourteen Chapter Fifteen Chapter One IT WAS EARLY IN NOVEMBER of 1139 that the tide of civil war, lately so sluggish and inactive, rose suddenly to sweep over the city of Worcester, wash away half its livestock, property and women, and send all those of its inhabitants who could get away in time scurrying for their lives northwards away from the marauders, to burrow into hiding wherever there was manor or priory, walled town or castle strong enough to afford them shelter. By the middle of the month a straggle of them had reached Shrewsbury, and subsided thankfully into the hospitable embrace of monastery or town, to lick their wounds and pour out their grievances. They were not in too bad case, apart from the old or sick, for the winter had not yet begun to bite hard. The weather-wise foretold that there was bitter cold in store, heavy snows and hard and prolonged frosts, but as yet the land lay dour, cloudy and mild, with capricious winds, but clear of frost or snow. “Thanks be to God!” said Brother Edmund, the infirmarer, devoutly. “Or we should have had more burials on our hands than three, and they all past their three score and ten.” Even so, he was hard put to it to find beds in his hospice for all those who needed them, and there was thick straw laid down in the stone hall for the overflow.
