A Man Of The Cloth

Ailz: So what do we call you?

Priest: Father Graham, that's what I'm called. Or 'Ere You.

That won me over. A sweet man. Early middle age. Neat beard. Lazy eye. A giggler. Efficient too: he took out a notebook and wrote down everything we told him about Eric. I gave him the story about Eric selling plastic boxes to Freddie Mercury without knowing who he was.

Lovely box story.

Sometimes the clergy surprise you. The last-minute one we got for my mother's funeral (in a Boxing-Day blizzard) rose up and gave us Bede's sparrow. Perfect.

Who would want to do the job in these lean times? The fanatics, of course, but also perhaps a remainder of the truly decent and unworldly.
