УYes,Ф Gabriel agreed.

The prayer ambassador grinned then. УYou know, I canТt help thinking thereТs horse in this somewhere.Ф

УA horse,Ф Gabriel repeated, thinking heТd rather not know how she intended to manage that.

УHis nameТs Paul Morris,Ф Goodness said to Mercy, leaning over the Book of Prayer and studying the lengthy list of entries. УReverend Paul Morris.Ф She ran her finger down the narrow column. УAccording to what it says here, his wife died two years ago.Ф

УHow sad.Ф

УHis nameТs popped up at least six times in the last two pages.Ф

УHe must be deeply loved for that many people to be praying for him.Ф

Goodness agreed. УWhat do you think could be wrong?Ф

Mercy raised her hands in a defeated gesture. УYour guess is as good as mine.Ф

УHe lives in Los Angeles, too.Ф

УHowТd you find his name?Ф

Goodness twisted around to look at her friend. УIt just seemed to leap off the page at me.Ф

УGoodness.Ф

It was the Archangel Gabriel, just when Goodness least expected his return. She straightened quickly and noted that their cohort, Shirley, was no longer with him.

УHi,Ф she said, tense at being caught reading out of the Book of Prayer. She raised her right hand as if preparing to make a solemn vow.

УYou were asking about Reverend Paul Morris?Ф Gabriel inquired.

УYes,Ф she said eagerly. УHis nameТs listed several times in your book, andЕwell, itТs just a matter of curiosity, you understand.Ф

УPerhaps youТd care to drop in and visit him yourself?Ф

Goodness was convinced her ears had deceived her. She opened her mouth and flattened her palm over her breast. УMe? Really?Ф she managed in a squeaky, high-pitched voice. УI thought you saidЕI mean, I was under the impressionЕФ She snapped her mouth closed before she talked herself out of meeting Paul Morris.

УIt doesnТt do any harm to look, now, does it?Ф Gabriel asked.

Goodness was almost giddy with delight.

УGo on ahead without me,Ф Mercy said with a defeated sigh and with the dramatic flair of a stage actress. УI donТt mind waiting here all by myself.Ф

УIТm sure you wonТt,Ф Gabriel said gruffly.

To be fair, Goodness did feel mildly guilty to be leaving her best friend behind. SheТd gotten adept with guilt of late. SheТd acquired the skill by hanging around with Catholics, who were proven experts.
