I thought hard about what my next move should be. I couldn’t admit to the Bishop that I had stolen the relic, but since it was ignored by the demon, it must be a fake and not the real holy relic.
The exertion of yesterday left me exhausted, and I stayed in bed most of the day, which of course meant no Sunday service in the church. Blexham was sure to have told the whole story over ale last night with everyone in the inn. What to do?

My fever and chills have gotten worse. I can’t get out of bed. At least Mathilda brings me food from the inn.
July 23, 1643 Note by Gilbert Blexham.
