LOL. Actually, one of my co-workers and I were discussing this a week or so ago. I had lent her my copy of the book, and she had been appalled by the fact that she'd read all the way through the book for such a ridiculous tale. You can tell why JA made fun of it in NA.
I can't even imagine the confession that led to such a penance that was so specific as to demand that kind of display instead of just a prayer or a couple of Hail Marys. No, no, sorry, can't be a painting or anything.
(I know it says spoilers in the subject, but can I really mention what it is?)
I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.
