It had once been a time that Paul would never have thought twice about. Sunday morning was to rouse the children, bathe them, dress them, and make certain that everyone had broken their fast before walking to church.
He no longer attended church, and the children were...gone. His Sunday morning was free and empty.
To put the time to profitable use, he intended to explore. His route took him through the center of the town, near to the cathedral, but not into the grounds. It did mean that he encountered the sudden flow of people leaving after the service, and after a few minutes of slightly awkward moving to one side, and then the other, and then back again, stepped back to the roadside of the sidewalk to allow the stranger to pass, raising his hat politely. "My apologies."
