+ [...] For the two priests were talking exactly like priests,
+ piously, with learning and leisure, about the most aerial
+ enigmas of theology. The little Essex priest spoke the more
+ simply, with his round face turned to the strengthening stars;
+ the other talked with his head bowed, as if he were not even
+ worthy to look at them. But no more innocently clerical
+ conversation could have been heard in any white Italian cloister
+ or black Spanish cathedral. The first he heard was the tail of
+ one of Father Brown's sentences, which ended: "... what they
+ really meant in the Middle Ages by the heavens being
+ incorruptible." The taller priest nodded his bowed head and
+ said: "Ah, yes, these modern infidels appeal to their reason;
+ but who can look at those millions of worlds and not feel that
+ there may well be wonderful universes above us where reason is
+ utterly unreasonable?"

+ By that time, Narahara had already slipped his arm from the
+ sleeve of his outer robe, drew out his two-and-a-half-foot
+ Fujiwara Tadahiro sword, and, brandishing it over his head,
+ began barreling toward the foreigners. In less than a minute,
+ he had charged upon them and cut one of them through the torso.
+ The man fled, clutching his bulging guts, finally to fall from
+ his horse at the foot of a pine tree about a thousand yards
+ away. Kaeda Takeji finished him off. The other two Englishmen
+ were severely wounded as they tried to flee. Only the woman
+ managed to escape virtually unscathed.
