All I was trying to do was take care of my sisters children. We were hungry and cold. I did what I had to do, I stole bread. Here I am, after spending 19 years in the galleys in the same place I was before, alone! I've walked 12 leagues and ended up in the town of D--. It's getting dark outside and I"m cold and hungry, but no-one will take me in. Where are peoples kindness? I give up, I guess I will just sleep on the bench for tonight. An elderly women comes up to me and tells me to go knock on a door. Im confused but I do what she says. When I knock a bishop opens the door. Not only did he open the door to his house to me, but also his heart. He was so kind and he fed me supper and gave me a bed to sleep. I did a horrible thing though, I stole his silver and ran out the back! I thought I was safe until I got caught by the cops. They took me back the the Bishops house, and i'm thinking "here i go back to the galleys." The bishop told them something different though. He said he gave it to me along with the candle sticks. I was totally shocked but blessed. Before I left that day he made me make him a promise that I will use this silver for good and turn my life around. I promised but as I walked away I'm thinking how hard it will be to do exactly that.
