Kindle Notes & Highlights
As for hearing, the sloth is not so much deaf as uninterested in sound.
Catholics have a reputation for severity, for judgment that comes down heavily. My experience with Father Martin was not at all like that. He was very kind. He served me tea and biscuits in a tea set that tinkled and rattled at every touch; he treated me like a grown-up; and he told me a story. Or rather, since Christians are so fond of capital letters, a Story.
No one dies of nausea, but it can seriously sap the will to live.
