First sentence

BY REASON OF THE PROLONGED COLD, WHICH LINGERED far into April, and had scarcely mellowed when the month of May began, everything came laggard and reluctant that spring of 1142...

Description

The Abby has been giving one rose as rent for a wealthy widow's property. This year the rose is hacked to pieces, and the rent cannot be paid. Worse yet, a man has suffered the same fate as the rose. Brother Cadfael must weave a complex garland to figure this one out.
