Of
course
.
In
fact
,
you
've
taught
me
something
.
That
in
my
business
there
is
only
one
weapon
at
my
disposal
--
prayer
.
I
have
no
other
function
.
"
"
Who
are
you
?
"
asked
Rainer
,
the
wine
beginning
to
make
him
blink
drowsily
.
"
I
'm
Archbishop
Ralph
de
Bricassart
.
"
"
Oh
!
I
thought
you
were
an
ordinary
priest
!
"
"
I
am
an
ordinary
priest
.
Nothing
more
.
"
"
I
'll
strike
a
bargain
with
you
!
"
said
the
boy
,
his
eyes
sparkling
.
"
You
pray
for
me
.
Father
,
and
if
I
live
long
enough
to
get
what
I
want
,
I
'll
come
back
to
Rome
to
let
you
see
what
your
prayers
have
done
.
"
The
blue
eyes
smiled
tenderly
.
"
All
right
,
it
's
a
bargain
.
And
when
you
come
,
I
'll
tell
you
what
I
think
happened
to
my
prayers
.
"
He
got
up
.
"
Stay
there
,
little
politician
.
I
'll
find
you
something
to
eat
.
"
They
talked
until
dawn
glowed
round
the
domes
and
campaniles
,
and
the
wings
of
pigeons
whirred
outside
the
window
.
Then
the
Archbishop
conducted
his
guest
through
the
public
rooms
of
the
palace
,
watching
his
awe
with
delight
,
and
let
him
out
into
the
cool
,
fresh
air
.
Though
he
did
n't
know
it
,
the
boy
with
the
splendid
name
was
indeed
to
go
to
Russia
,
carrying
with
him
a
memory
oddly
sweet
and
reassuring
:
that
in
Rome
,
in
Our
Lord
's
own
Church
,
a
man
was
praying
for
him
every
day
,
by
name
.

By
the
time
the
Ninth
was
ready
to
be
shipped
to
New
Guinea
,
it
was
all
over
bar
the
mopping
up
.
Disgruntled
,
the
most
elite
division
in
Australian
military
history
could
only
hope
there
might
be
further
glory
to
amass
somewhere
else
,
chasing
the
Japanese
back
up
through
Indonesia
.
Guadalcanal
had
defeated
all
Japanese
hopes
in
the
drive
for
Australia
.
And
yet
,
like
the
Germans
,
they
yielded
bitterly
,
grudgingly
.
