One morning, when the oven’s heat drove him out of the bakery, he wandered near the herb garden behind the main abbey buildings and saw Edgar, all swathed in white, wearing an enormously brimmed hat. Edgar was studying a plant held by Brother Salvador, also swathed in white from head to toe. The brother carefully and slowly pointed out the unique characteristics of the plant. Edgar studied it and then located another like it in the garden. Brother Salvador was patting him on the back when Ulrik interrupted them.

“Ulrik,” said the brother looking straight into the prince’s eyes. “I suppose I need to thank you for my new assistant.”

“That’s me,” chimed in Edgar in answer to Ulrik’s puzzled look. “Brother Salvador says Edgar got a nature eye.”

“A natural eye,” corrected Salvador, “It doesn’t take him long to identify the right plant from the wrong one. I show him what I need, send him out, and he brings it back right away. Not many assistants can do that. Most of the ones I’ve tried to train before couldn’t tell a cowslip from a dandelion.”

“Edgar can,” he said, smiling as far as his scarred face would allow. He leaned over and put his face next to the Brother’s for Ulrik to compare. “Brother Salvador says we like twins.”

Brother Salvador smiled briefly, then grumbled, “Enough of that stuff. Let’s get back to work.” Ulrik left them to their tasks, knowing that his friend had found a place he could never have found at the castle- a home and a true vocation.

When Ulrik entered the chapel he had to ask whether it was Wednesday or Thursday because Prester John was leading the service instead of the abbot. When he was told it was Wednesday his confusion increased because Wednesday was always the abbot’s day. While Ulrik tried to get his teacher’s attention, Prester John made a point of ignoring him throughout the service.
