A wizard has no time for such unimportant things as religion. But representatives of the House are not only recluses and scientists who are always busy with their sorcerous experiments. Servants, commoners, and guards also need something to do in their "free time". It seems to me that a high-ranking religious servant under Telvanni should look very flamboyant, very rich. And with indecently poor novices against his background.

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.
