There was solace from the silence in the quiet music of the organ. An organ began to play softly in the choir room. Its tremulous notes echoed through the vast emptiness of the church. Gilchrist looked after her. He waited until the outer door had echoed her departure, then walked slowly over and closed the door. Quietly he placed the ring in his pocket.
