But Borellas was a humble priest whose knowledge of Santiago de Compostela’s alleyways and courtyards had saved the sacrist from the French. ❋ Cornwell, Bernard (1988)
Young monks and novices occasionally had to be disciplined by their more senior brothers during the services, and there was no rule to say that only the sacrist could do this. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
At last the sacrist turned on his heel and walked away with his head held high. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The sacrist was sitting on the ironbound box that contained the treasure. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The sacrist should have thought of the treasure, instead of saving his own skin so hastily. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Philip said: “Cuthbert, get the church key from the sacrist.” ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The sacrist sensed his uncertainty and took advantage of it. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
He did, technically, rank as an obedientary of the priory, but he never thought of himself as being equal to the sacrist and the others because they were all so much older than he. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
“There are others — the sacrist, the circuitor, the novice-master …” ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The service was being conducted by the sacrist, Andrew of York, an irascible, red-faced man who seemed permanently on the verge of apoplexy. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Last year he had made the sacrist pluck a chicken: the result was hilarious, for the sacrist had no idea what to do and there were feathers everywhere. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
He had established that neither the sacrist nor the circuitor had seen what the young monks were doing during the service. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Before the play there was a regular service, which the sacrist kept brief. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Andrew, the sacrist, said: “We should send our wisest and most fluent speakers.” ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The sacrist hurried through the service, and for once Philip forgave him. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Cuthbert Whitehead and the sacrist were organizing the removal of the coffin. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
The sacrist has his lands, I have mine, and there are smaller endowments for the novice-master, the guest-master, the infirmarer and the almoner. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Remigius came in with Andrew, the sacrist, and they sat by John Small and Pierre. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
“You may be prior of a little cell in the forest, but I have been sacrist here for twelve years, and I will conduct the cathedral services as I think fit — without assistance from outsiders half my age!” ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
Philip turned toward the kitchen, but his way was barred by the sacrist, who struck an aggressive pose in front of him, with his feet apart and his hands on his hips. ❋ FOLLETT, Ken (1989)
