I say he is! Think of the first day, when we gave him Noah's ark seed to sow, and he went into a passion because it wasn't gold-watch seed! We set him a penance to kneel on dried pease in the chapel all afternoon. And hasn't it been so every other day in the year since? ANSELM. Yes, Brother Sebastian, I fear it has. But, then, you know, this has come hardest on you--hasn't it, my Brethren?
