The Last Kingdom (The Last Kingdom, #1)

by Bernard Cornwell

I once asked a bishop whether there were any women in heaven. ‘Of course there are, my lord,’ he answered, happy that I was taking an interest in doctrine, ‘many of the most blessed saints are women.’ ‘I mean women we can hump, bishop.’ He said he would pray for me. Perhaps he did.

We are all lonely and all seek a hand to hold in the darkness.
