THE GOOD QUEEN Quotes

“the doorway were a rusty red, different from the rest of the building; I assumed they had survived the fire when the old abbey was burnt by the Danes. An oak door banded with iron stood closed, flat and unfriendly. Agatha rapped on it with her bony knuckles, the sound echoing down the corridor. There was no answer in reply to her knock but Agatha opened the door nonetheless and curtly beckoned us forward. Once we’d inched past her, she whirled about and disappeared, a black crow flapping towards the cloisters. Mary and I teetered on the first of three large steps bent in the middle from the passage of countless feet, which descended into the chamber.”
