and canvas rustled and snapped as the karups boobs crew hoisted the sail aloft and
caught the air.
"Do you know how it happened?" Loris asked, after taking a karups boobs moment to
karups boobs subdue his anger.
Gorony shrugged. "Not in detail. Excellency, but one gathers that the
Deryni McLain had a hand in karups boobs it. Incidentally, I regret to report that our
diversion was unsuccessful. McLain still lives and will himself be
consecrated bishop karups boobs at Easter, to serve Cardiel."
"A karups boobs viper in the episcopate!" Loris karups boobs spat vehemently over the rail.
"What about our agent? Did he talk?"
"Apparently not. McLain killed him karups boobs during the attack. Fortunately,
not
even Deryni can make the dead speak - especially when merasha is
involved."
"Ah, then karups boobs the boy did karups boobs manage to
wound him."
"Aye, though not deeply enough to do real damage: a slash across one
palm, from what I hear. Apparently Morgan karups boobs was able to heal that, though not
right away, with the merasha in it. Karups boobs mcLain was quite up to attending Mass
the next noon,
and seemed to karups boobs bear no sign of the wound."
"Blast him for the Deryni heretic he is! - that both of them are! -

karups boobs we can reach Ratharkin in time to prevent the investiture."
" That's true, my lord. However, by the time we can karups boobs reach Ratharkin,
the king and his court will be on their karups boobs way back to Rhemuth. For
all the
winter, Meara's new bishop will be guarded only by his garrison - karups boobs and most
of them owe obedience to the Bishop of Culdi or to Judhael himself."
"Do they, indeed?" Loris breathed.
"Even so, my lord," Gorony replied, smiling. "Nor does Bishop
Creoda's support end with the karups boobs gaining of your freedom. He proposes to help
you depose Istelyn and then consecrate Judhael in his place. The king won't
even know for several weeks, if things go as they should - and the snows
will make it almost impossible to do anything about it until spring. By
then, you karups boobs and the Princess Caitrin should be firm allies."
When karups boobs Loris had digested the information, he nodded. "Creoda, too, has
served me well. Have we a third bishop available, to make the karups boobs validity of
Judhael's consecration beyond question?"
"We hope to -
