Summary
"Beocca told me one day that God put temptations to test us." Alfred seeks his gaze in the gloom. "And then he sent the heathens to punish us for falling into them."
For a few seconds, he says no more. Outside, the song of an owl is heard at night. The wind whispers through the trees.
"How can it be possible?" The king continues after a moment. "How can it be possible that God has sent temptation and punishment in the same person?"
Uthred kidnaps the King of Wessex.
