Michael Culver: Prior Robert

Quotes 

• Abbot Radulfus : Unrequited love?

  Brother Cadfael : He is passionate. The lady chose his brother.

  Abbot Radulfus : And for that he shuts himself away?

  Brother Cadfael : He will admit no other reason.

  Prior Robert : Well, better that than murder.

  Brother Cadfael : You mean Canon Eluard's suspicions?

  Prior Robert : Given credence, surely, by his savage attack on Brother Jerome?

  Brother Cadfael : No, no, no. Meriet would have stopped.

  Prior Robert : Would he? I think, Brother Cadfael, that you see yourself in that young man. That doesn't mean you can read his heart.

  Brother Cadfael : No, but I think it wise, Father, for someone to visit his father, Leoric Ashby.

  Prior Robert : To what end?

  Brother Cadfael : Because it is not too late for him to haul the boy back from vows for which he is manifestly ill-suited.

  Abbot Radulfus : A sensible thought. This is no hideaway for lovesick youth, Brother Prior.
