The Lady of the Shroud

BOOK III: THE COMING OF THE LADY

The church itself was almost circular, the openings of the four naves being spacious enough to give the appearance of the interior as a whole, being a huge cross.

It was strangely dim, for the window openings were small and high-set, and were, moreover, filled with green or blue glass, each window having a colour to itself.

The glass was very old, being of the thirteenth or fourteenth century.
