Then. without summoning Suzanne, he
made his way into the hall and let him
self out at the front door.
Half an hour later the Cure returned.
Has Monsigneur gone?" he asked.
"Monsigneur has gone and has taken

Taken the turkey with him?"
Most of it," said Suzanne. He has
eaten it. Is it not very wicked?"
No" said the Cure sadly, "a Bishop
can give himself dispensation."
"Oh, what pity NJ. le Cure is not
