Owen understood why the old monk stood near a slightly opened window.

But the monk thrust the pole of his cross into the ground and stood not too far from Nick.

One young monk, a man Jojonah did not know, was standing guard.

While the monks stood looking on, he stepped before the man and placed the coin in his open palm.

Five monks stood guard there, and this time they were very alert indeed.

An old monk was standing in front of them with a long scroll.

As such, the monk could not stand idly by and allow the oppression of the common people.

Almost to her surprise, the monk sighed and stood as well.

Three monks in black robes and hats stood talking outside the church.

A monk stood in the hallway, probably ordered to wait for her.
