"It is not natural, and it is not true that the prayer can distract the will from the performance of a good deed." She shook her head more energetically than usual.

"And it is not good either that you should be called a witch, you who have lived here amongst us." "It is not my fault!" exclaimed Unorna, somewhat annoyed by her persistence.
