it was William's turn next. He thought he could probably kill the cat if he was careful in order to tire it. A little more! He yelled at it, making it run faster for a moment. Then he fainted a throw with the same effect. If one of the others had delayed like this, he would have been booed! But William was the Earl's son. So they waited patiently. The cat slowed down, obviously in pain. It approached the door. Hopefully, William drew back his arm unexpectedly. The cat stopped against the wall beside the door. William began to throw before the stone left his hand. The door was flung open, and a priest and black stood there, William through! But the cat sprang like an arrow from a bow howling triumphantly. The priest in the doorway gave a frightened, high pitched shriek and clutched at the skirts of his robes. The young men burst out laughing. The cat cannoned into the priest's legs, then landed on its feet and shot out through the door. The priest stood frozen in an attitude of fright, like an old woman scared by a mouse. And the young men roared with laughter. William recognized the priest. It was Bishop Way Lauren! He laughed all the more. The fact that the woman ish priest, who had been frightened by a cat was also a rival of the family, made it even better. The Bishop recovered his composure very quickly. He flushed red, pointed an accusing finger at William and said in a grating voice, You'll suffer eternal torment in the lowest depths of ****! Williams laughter turned to terror in a flash. His mother had given him nightmares when he was small by telling him what the devils did to people in ****, burning them in the flames, and poking their eyes out and cutting off their private parts with sharp knives. And ever since then he hated to hear Talk of it! Shut up! He screamed at the bishop. The room fell silent. William drew his knife and walked towards way Lauren. Don't you come here preaching, you snake Whalen did not look frightened at all, just intrigued, as if he was interested to have discovered Williams weakness, and that made William angrier. Still. I'll swing for you. So help me! He was mad enough to knife the bishop, but he was stopped by a voice from the staircase behind him. William enough! It was his father. Williams stopped, and after a moment sheathed his knife.
