A Tale of the Albigenses “My lord, I am your sister’s son but not your vassal,” the youth replied with perhaps unnecessary pride. “But that is not the question,” he added sadly and in a gentler tone. “You counsel me — no, you command me,” and he bowed his head slightly at the word, “to submit myself unreservedly to our Holy Father the Pope, in the person of his Legate.” “I do, as you do value life and lands. If your retainers had not infected you with their heresy, why should you hesitate?” “I — the son of Roger Taillefer — a heretic! None of our race were ever that, thank Heaven. But can the Count ask why I hesitate? Not that I fear the disgrace of a public penance, though I think they might have spared it to the greatest seigneur who speaks the ‘Langue d’Oc’, and altogether such a submissive and obedient Roman Catholic.” The Young Burning Hearts Series is a series of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.Sku: 9781928136941
Sunset in Provence
By: Deborah Alcock$10.95 -
I know no way in which a writer may more fittingly introduce his work to the public than by giving a brief account of who and what he is. By this means some of the blame for what he has done is very properly shifted to the extenuating circumstances of his life. I was born at Swanmoor, Hants, England, on December 30, 1869. I am not aware that there was any particular conjunction of the planets at the time, but should think it extremely likely.Sku: 9781514367926

To teach courtesy, benignity, generosity, humanity: for of examples, teaching these virtues, his pages are full."
