'There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.'

The King James Bible

<T_Jow could you leave the college with no guard? On your own?' X JLjane was incandescent. He had never seen fury like it. To her, a vision of him slumped like a broken doll at the foot of the college, the sheer madness of his going out to meet Marlowe, felt like a betrayal of their love. 'Do you think your wife and children want to live without you? Are we so little to you that you can throw basic caution to the wind? How would you have spoken to me if I'd run off into the night with your children, on the word of a drunken informer, because in the final count excitement mattered more to me than my love!'

She was right. That made him even more angry. Mannion was no help. He had said nothing about Gresham rushing off into the night, but he looked mournful and reproachful, like a vast cow that had not been milked or a dog whose owner had suddenly ceased to walk or feed it.

The letters, the damned, cursed letters, had been there in Marlowe's satchel, in lascivious detail, the hand presumably that of the King himself.
