AFTER THE MAN and woman left the office, Cuthbert risked abandoning his post. Making sure the pair didn’t notice, he followed them down the street, avoiding their notice.

Had Simon spotted him? He ducked behind a wall.

Oh, no. Where had they gone? Ah, Simon’s height allowed Cuthbert to keep sight of him as they moved on.

If he got caught or was away from his desk for too long, he’d lose his position. Then his life would be ruined. A man frowned and a woman clutched her parcels tighter and changed direction when he nearly bumped into her. He was trained as a goldsmith, not a thief. Perhaps he appeared too desperate.

He was running out of breath. Rain pelted him as they turned a corner. Simon held up his satchel to protect the woman from the wet, and they walked even faster. After a few more turns, they entered a handsome house. Simon’s home. The kind Cuthbert should have.

He bent over and panted. He couldn’t have gone much farther.

For the fourth time that day, he prayed to St. Dunstan, the patron saint of goldsmiths. “Light my way. Help me succeed.”

Best to return to work and think this through. The discovery of the chalice was enough progress for today. But if he delayed too long, they might sell his last hope.

He smiled–St. Dunstan must’ve heard him.
