Crispin: Cross of Lead Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Crispin wakes to hear horses going by. Guess who? Our old friends the steward, the bailiff, and the stranger from the forest.
He manages to hide and spends a good chunk of time feeling sorry for himself because he's lost his mother, Father Quinel, and the only home he's ever known. Truthfully, we can't say we blame him.
He keeps moving south, but slowly, pausing to consider that he doesn't know what to do.
He sees the bailiff heading back to Stromford, but the steward and the stranger never reappear, so he fears they're waiting up ahead.
Finally Crispin hits rock bottom and begs Jesus to take him to heaven. He doesn't want to live anymore, which he knows is a sin.
