there's a question," he inquired, "whether or not
your Lords will continue to bless you? I thought that was assured when
you accepted Their Blessing."
10 "That is a mistake," explained Smiling Fox, "that a lot outside The
Faith make. From the moment we are born we receive The Lords blessing, for we are sacred to Them. But
