The Company

Alea jacta est.

My travelling companions will be:

Brother Brendan, the chief gardener of St. Godric's;

Brother Thomas, an Albanian refugee who joined the monastery 20 years ago before the fall of communism in his homeland;

Brother Francis, a twenty-something close associate of Brother Damien's;

and Brother Palgrave, an older monk from Northumbria.

What larks we'll have!
