2004 Scion xA • 121,000 miles
The engine isn't knocking or pinging, it just seems loud. Not over-exerting, although when going 75 mph on the freeway it's at 3500 rpm, but as the car is going at higher speeds it just gets loud. So loud you can almost not hear the change in engine sound when shifting gears. Is it the exhaust manifold or manifold gasket (nothing has been done to the exhaust system yet). I am the original owner, and the car has been serviced regularly, and always at the dealer. I do not smell exhaust in the car, there's no rattle, no clicking, just loud, like an engine sound overlay over the normal engine sound, if that makes sense.
October 12, 2011.
October 12, 2011.
It could be an exhaust leak. Does it sound like the engine is loud or is it more road noise? Just FYI, they removed the exhaust to replace the clutch.
The engine sounds loud, not like road noise. So I should take it back to the dealer and have them look into the exhaust (look for a leak)?
That is what I would recommend. It could be something that wasn't properly tightened. If I could hear it, I would be better able to tell you. However, based on your description, it sounds like an exhaust leak.
Let me know if you can upload a video to youtube so I can hear it. I realize that is a lot of fooling around, but I could give you a better answer. I've had a lot of people do it and it is helpful.
Let me know.
Let me know if you can upload a video to youtube so I can hear it. I realize that is a lot of fooling around, but I could give you a better answer. I've had a lot of people do it and it is helpful.
Let me know.
I'll take it back to the dealership, and if that doesn't solve it I'll make a youtube video. I figure a tripod with the camera aimed at the instrument panel so you can see the gauges and hear the noise. I'll get back to you tomorrow one way or another. Thanks, Joe.
So I took the car back to the dealer and the problem turned out to be a bearing in the right front wheel, which was repaired today. My big question now is, is it time to dump the car (121,000 miles) or will I easily make it to 200,000 without spending a lot more. I've spent $1,700 in the last 2 weeks ($1,400 clutch, $300 wheel bearing). Are the other 3 wheel bearings about to go? I had a 1986 MR2 that I put 184,000 miles on, sold it to a friend, and he drove it to 215,000 before he sold it. Toyotas are historically good cars that are not too expensive.
Oct 13, 2011.
Oct 13, 2011.
Like any car made today, the engines seem to run forever, but people forget there is a lot of other things that can go bad from wear. You should be able to get 200K out if it without too many problems, but things do wear out. The bearing is a perfect example. That, however, doesn't mean the other three will go tomorrow. I had a Dakota that I ran to 180K before I replaced the original clutch, but I took good care of it. I sold it at 260K and it was still running good. I had the usual issues with sensors going bad, the exhaust system. But nothing that was what I considered major. So, I would say you should be okay. As you mentioned, they are good cars.

Broad New Patent Granted
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genzyme Corp. (Nasdaq: GENZ) and Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIS) today announced that they have begun a phase 3 study of mipomersen in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH), a genetic disorder that causes exceptionally high levels of LDL cholesterol. It is the first of four new trials the companies plan to initiate by the end of this year, and the second late-stage study of mipomersen, a novel lipid-lowering drug that utilizes antisense technology.
The companies also announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent entitled "Antisense Modulation of Apolipoprotein B (apoB) Expression," U.S. Patent No. 7,407,943. The patent broadly covers the use of antisense compounds targeting the apoB messenger RNA except a ribozyme.
"We are making excellent progress in implementing our comprehensive development plan for mipomersen," stated John P. Butler, president of Genzyme's renal, endocrine and cardiovascular business units. "The start of the heFH study puts us on track to meet our goal of beginning four new mipomersen studies this year. In addition, the recent patent issuance increases the overall value of mipomersen, which we believe has enormous potential to help patients."
The new trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of mipomersen in
patients who have heFH and coronary artery disease. It is a randomized,

See Billy Joel's New Daughter Della Rose Joel
Just a few weeks after tying the knot in a surprise ceremony, newlyweds Billy and Alexis Joel have announced the birth of their daughter, Della Rose.
Just a few weeks after tying the knot in a surprise ceremony, newlyweds Billy and Alexis Joel have announced the birth of their daughter, Della Rose.
Ultimate Classic Rock ranks Billy Joel albums, from worst to best.
Billy Joel was involved in his third car accident over a two-year period on April 25, 2004, a string of mishaps that had model ex-wife Christie Brinkley openly wondering whether their daughter should be riding with him.
Billy Joel closed out the '70s with two of the bestselling albums of the decade in The Stranger and 52nd Street.
The Grand Rapids Symphony's 2015 D&W Fresh Market Picnic Pops summer concert series will include Five For Fighting and the music of Neil Diamond, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Billy Joel and Elton John in July.
The Vulture has taken it upon itself to rank every Billy Joel song ever recorded.
While it's list is open for discussion, my top 10 is not.
The Bala Brothers -- Loyiso, Zwai and Phelo Bala -- are a household name in South Africa because of their fusion of operatically-trained voices, rich harmonies and traditional South African melodies and rhythms.
The Bala Brothers are releasing a self-titled album March 3, with DVD and Blu-Ray releases March 24 for a taped concert program airing as a PBS-TV special starting Feb. 28.
When Billy Joel was feted with the Gershwin Prize for Popular Music back in November, an all star cast joined him on stage for some of his classics, including actor Kevin Spacey and rock great John Mellencamp.
PBS aired the highlights this weekend, and here's the best of the best.
AC/DC singer Brian Johnson rang in the new year last night by joining Billy Joel onstage to perform one of the band's all-time classic songs.
Billy Joel took a few moments out of a recent concert to offer musical tribute to Joe Cocker -- and surprised the audience with some unhappy news about the singer's health.
Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley divorced 20 years ago, but they clearly still have love for each other, as Joel went to great lengths to demonstrate recently.
Billy Joel won Newsday's 'That's SO Long Island' tournament, even as he was named the seventh recipient of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song today.

Funky fresh and yes cold on my feet
With no shoestring in 'em, I did not win 'em
Lyric Meaning
It was popular to wear adidas with no laces on them. This was around the same time that sagging became popular, because prisoners in jail had no shoelaces or belts because of the possibility that they'd be used to strangle someone. Laceless adidas were incredibly popular at this time and were known as "jail shoes." What Run DMC is proving here is that despite their reputation and appearance, they have done so much good, all while wearing "jail shoes." They are also demonstrating the heights that are attainable to other people living in poverty.

Over the past five years, many people have understandably lost confidence in the stock market, big banks, and other financial institutions. Due to the recent turbulence in the economy, it has become more common to be extremely cautious with assets and to try to save as much as possible. However, this does not mean that there are not smart and safe ways to optimize your financial resources. Investing in precious metals is an excellent way to boost your savings portfolio without taking large risks.
Demand and Supply of Precious Metals
The precious metals that are internationally traded and collected include many different metals, the most popular being gold silver, palladium, and platinum. Like any other type of traded resource, the price and earning potential of these metals will be determined by supply and demand. Precious metals make a wise choice for investment because most of them have a finite, sometimes very limited, supply, while the demand is generally high.
When investing in precious metals, it is crucial to not make decisions based solely on the current price of the metal. Some of the metals, such as platinum, may have higher prices, but the demand may also be very high or rising. Currently, silver and platinum are experiencing rising demand because industries, such as health care and technology, are relying upon these precious metals in order to produce new products. If you own a share of the resources, you can benefit from the future growth of these rapidly expanding industries.
Investing in Rare Precious Metals and Coins
Some investors choose to focus more on supply than demand. They invest heavily on metals that are extremely rare. Rarity, especially when dealing with metals, often translates to high value. When it comes to resources that are rare by nature, gold is an excellent example. The value of gold is often determined not as heavily by the current demand or market fluctuations, but by the scarcity.
Rare gold coins can have an even higher value because, along with being made from rare materials, they may also have high historical significance. Gold, and gold coins, has been used as currency for thousands of years, and remains a very strong investment vehicle to this day. History has proven that there is a very slim to nonexistent chance that gold is going to significantly decrease in value anytime soon, which makes it one of the safest investment opportunities.
Precious Metals Provide a Financial Safety Net
For many years, investors felt that the real estate was one of the best vehicles for save and profitable investments. The housing crash of 2008 was a clear indication that this theory does not hold true. Where did many of the people who were damaged or anxious because of the economy turn after this major collapse? Many of them turned to the one market that is always fairly strong and steady: precious metals. Investing in precious metals is considered to be a great financial safety net because there is little to no risk that the price of these widely used commodities will fall unexpectedly.

Oak Park names new parking director
Says proposed developments will change the face of parking
Interim Parking Director Jill Velan has been named director of the Village Department of Parking and Mobility Services, according to a village news release.
Velan, 43, has served as interim parking director since 2012, when Village Manager Cara Pavlicek, who previously served in the position, was named interim village manager.
"With so much happening in the parking department throughout the year, we felt it was vitally important that our new parking director be able to hit the ground running," Pavlicek, who was promoted to the position of village manager in 2013, said in the news release. "Jill has proven herself capable of managing the day-to-day operations in the parking department while focusing on long-term issues."
While serving in the interim position, Velan oversaw the establishment of the village's online overnight parking system and passport parking system.
Velan said in the news release that parking will be impacted in the future by proposed developments at South Boulevard and Harlem Avenue, Lake and Forest and the Colt site, east of Harlem and Lake.
"We're going to implement a large, coordinated effort to make sure that we satisfy the stakeholders before, during and after these projects have been completed," she said. "We'll make sure parking goes smoothly, so everyone else can focus on investing in Oak Park's future."

I do not know Jill but I hope she lives and drives in Oak Park. We don't need outside consultants to research recommendations for our parking problems. We just need some practical and common sense solutions. Some have already been implemented so hopefully we continue to move in that direction.

I love Passport, no longer have to make sureI have enough quarters! Now if you could make it more obvious which meter goes with which spot at the spaces on South Blvd near Ridgeland that would help. Also should the area behind the indoor tennis courts on Lake off Ridgeland really be permit parking until 8 AM? There is usually 1 o 2 cars there and a bunch of empty spaces that I would love to pay the for!

Could she possibly -- and hopefully -- look into why residents with outstanding parking tickets are still able to procure parking permits when parking is so scare around here, please?!!
Posted: May 14th, 2014 9:19 PM
Really? More smoke from Ms. Pavlicek? What did she accomplish as interim parking director when she had the job?

Maybe she can answer the question of why we are not allowed to back into parking spots at the lot on Oak Park Ave and Central.

She looks about a million times friendlier than the man who used to head up parking. A meeting with him was about as fun as a meal of liver and lima beans.

Can she change the attitude of her staff.? That's the important question.

This is the first of two columns -- one won't be enough -- addressing the audacious statements in John Kerry's convention speech.
On divisiveness after 9-11, Kerry said he was proud that all Americans were unified after September 11 and "How we wish it had stayed that way." This self-serving formulation ignores that the Democrats' Bush-hatred preceded 9-11 by almost two years and merely took a short, required sabbatical following the terrorist attacks.
On divisiveness in general, Kerry said, "Let's build unity in the American family, not angry division. ? This is our time to reject the kind of politics calculated to divide race from race, group from group, region from region. ? I see us as one America red, white and blue." Need we remind the senator that it is his party that routinely plays the class warfare and race cards, clearly promoting "angry division"? In this very speech, Kerry railed against tax cuts for the rich, even though the wealthiest Americans received the smallest percentage tax cuts under the Bush plan. And should we interpret Kerry's echo of Barack Obama's "one-America" theme, an outright repudiation of his running mate's two-Americas shtick?
On his record, Kerry said, "I ask that you judge me by my record." But that's the last thing Kerry wants us to do, as evidenced by the balance of his speech and most of the other convention speeches, which were all calculated to obscure Kerry's anemic record on national defense. For good reason, the only facts Kerry shared about his Senate voting record dealt not with national security, but a balanced budget initiative and a law enforcement measure.
On negative campaigning, Kerry lectured President Bush, "In the weeks ahead, let's be optimists, not just opponents." This was after Kerry had pledged to "restore trust and credibility to the White House, accused V.P. Cheney of conducting illicit secret meetings with "polluters" and accused President Bush of "mislead(ing) us into war," playing footsie with the Saudi Royal family, not guiding policy by facts and "distorting facts with politics." Campaigning doesn't get any dirtier than this. And if Kerry meant to suggest that Bush either pressured the CIA or distorted the intelligence provided to him, he is contradicting the 9-11 Commission and the agencies themselves. (And don't forget Kerry's bizarre hedge as recently as May, admitting that we still might find WMD in Iraq.)

Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year—World Without End.
View our Ken Follett feature page.
In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmed—"it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you" (Chicago Tribune)—and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel.
World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas— about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race—the Black Death.
Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
Eighteen years after Pillars of the Earthweighed in with almost 1,000 pages of juicy historical fiction about the construction of a 12th-century cathedral in Kingsbridge, England, bestseller Follett returns to 14th-century Kingsbridge with an equally weighty tome that deftly braids the fate of several of the offspring of Pillars' families with such momentous events of the era as the Black Death and the wars with France. Four children, who will become a peasant's wife, a knight, a builder and a nun, share a traumatic experience that will affect each of them differently as their lives play out from 1327 to 1361. Follett studs the narrative with gems of unexpected information such as the English nobility's multilingual training and the builder's technique for carrying heavy, awkward objects. While the novel lacks the thematic unity of Pillars, readers will be captivated by the four well-drawn central characters as they prove heroic, depraved, resourceful or mean. Fans of Follett's previous medieval epic will be well rewarded. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Best known for such tightly plotted World War II thrillers as The Key to Rebecca and more contemporary suspense novels like The Third Twin, British author Follett returns to the West Country town of Kingsbridge, the setting for his huge historical epic, Pillars of the Earth, released in 1989. In Pillars, Follett uses the building of a cathedral to portray an England torn by civil war and strife that affects all levels of society. This long-awaited sequel opens 200 years later, in 1327, and continues the story of some of Jack's descendants against a backdrop of extreme change. The action centers around four children: Merthin, inventive and later a builder himself; Caris, the protofeminist, medically inclined daughter of the town alderman; Ralph, Merthin's younger bullying brother; and Gwenda, a child of a landless, thieving laborer. Venturing into the forest outside Kingsbridge, they witness an armed conflict, and Merthin learns about a secret letter. The novel explores their intersecting lives during the next three decades, with the worlds of religion, medicine, commerce, and politics vividly if disturbingly depicted in a manner reminiscent of James Clavell or Jean Auel. Actor and playwright John Lee brings a modulated, English-accented sensibility to this story; his voices add extra vitality to the narration but do not overpower it. Recommended for libraries with large historic fiction collections and those who like well-detailed historical narratives with straightforward characters whose speech is very 21st century. [Pillars of the Earth was an Oprah Book Club selection in 2007; World Without End is also available as downloadable audio fromAudible.com.-Ed.]

World Without End
By Ken Follett
DUTTONCopyright © 2007 Ken Follett All right reserved.
Chapter OneGwenda was eight years old, but she was not afraid of the dark.
When she opened her eyes she could see nothing, but that was not what scared her. She knew where she was. She was at Kingsbridge Priory, in the long stone building they called the hospital, lying on the floor in a bed of straw. Her mother lay next to her, and Gwenda could tell, by the warm milky smell, that Ma was feeding the new baby, who did not yet have a name. Beside Ma was Pa, and next to him Gwenda's older brother, Philemon, who was twelve.
The hospital was crowded, and though she could not see the other families lying along the floor, squashed together like sheep in a pen, she could smell the rank odor of their warm bodies. When dawn broke it would be All Hallows', a Sunday this year and therefore an especially holy day. By the same token the night before was All Hallows Eve, a dangerous time when evil spirits roamed freely. Hundreds of people had come to Kingsbridge from the surrounding villages, as Gwenda's family had, to spend Halloween in the sanctified precincts of the priory, and to attend the All Hallows' service at daybreak.
Gwenda was wary of evil spirits, like every sensible person; but she was more scared of what she had to do during the service.
She stared into the gloom, trying not to think about what frightened her. She knew that the wall opposite her had an arched window. There was no glass-only the most important buildings had glass windows-but a linen blind kept out the cold autumn air. However, she could not even see a faint patch of gray where the window should be. She was glad. She did not want the morning to come.
She could see nothing, but there was plenty to listen to. The straw that covered the floor whispered constantly as people stirred and shifted in their sleep. A child cried out, as if woken by a dream, and was quickly silenced by a murmured endearment. Now and again someone spoke, uttering the half-formed words of sleep talk. Somewhere there was the sound of two people doing the thing parents did but never spoke of, the thing Gwenda called Grunting because she had no other word for it.
Too soon, there was a light. At the eastern end of the long room, behind the altar, a monk came through the door carrying a single candle. He put the candle down on the altar, lit a taper from it, and went around touching the flame to the wall lamps, his long shadow reaching up the wall each time like a reflection, his taper meeting the shadow taper at the wick of the lamp.
The strengthening light illuminated rows of humped figures on the floor, wrapped in their drab cloaks or huddled up to their neighbors for warmth. Sick people occupied the cots near the altar, where they could get the maximum benefit from the holiness of the place. At the opposite end, a staircase led to the upper floor where there were rooms for aristocratic visitors: the earl of Shiring was there now with some of his family.
The monk leaned over Gwenda to light the lamp above her head. He caught her eye and smiled. She studied his face in the shifting light of the flame and recognized him as Brother Godwyn. He was young and handsome, and last night he had spoken kindly to Philemon.
Beside Gwenda was another family from her village: Samuel, a prosperous peasant with a large landholding, and his wife and two sons, the youngest of whom, Wulfric, was an annoying six-year-old who thought that throwing acorns at girls then running away was the funniest thing in the world.
Gwenda's family was not prosperous. Her father had no land at all, and hired himself out as a laborer to anyone who would pay him. There was always work in the summer but, after the harvest was gathered in and the weather began to turn cold, the family often went hungry.
That was why Gwenda had to steal.
She imagined being caught: a strong hand grabbing her arm, holding her in an unbreakable grip while she wriggled helplessly; a deep, cruel voice saying "Well, well, a little thief"; the pain and humiliation of a whipping; and then, worst of all, the agony and loss as her hand was chopped off.
Her father had suffered this punishment. At the end of his left arm was a hideous wrinkled stump. He managed well with one hand-he could use a shovel, saddle a horse, and even make a net to catch birds-but all the same he was always the last laborer to be hired in the spring, and the first to be laid off in the autumn. He could never leave the village and seek work elsewhere, because the amputation marked him as a thief, so that people would refuse to hire him. When traveling, he tied a stuffed glove to the stump, to avoid being shunned by every stranger he met; but that did not fool people for long.
Gwenda had not witnessed Pa's punishment-it had happened before she was born-but she had often imagined it, and now she could not help thinking about the same thing happening to her. In her mind she saw the blade of the axe coming down on her wrist, slicing through her skin and her bones, and severing her hand from her arm, so that it could never be reattached; and she had to clamp her teeth together to keep from screaming out loud.
People were standing up, stretching and yawning and rubbing their faces. Gwenda got up and shook out her clothes. All her garments had previously belonged to her older brother. She wore a woollen shift that came down to her knees and a tunic over it, gathered at the waist with a belt made of hemp cord. Her shoes had once been laced, but the eyelets were torn and the laces gone, and she tied them to her feet with plaited straw. When she had tucked her hair into a cap made of squirrel tails, she had finished dressing.
She caught her father's eye, and he pointed surreptitiously to a family across the way, a couple in middle age with two sons a little older than Gwenda. The man was short and slight, with a curly red beard. He was buckling on a sword, which meant he was a man-at-arms or a knight: ordinary people were not allowed to wear swords. His wife was a thin woman with a brisk manner and a grumpy face. As Gwenda scrutinized them, Brother Godwyn nodded respectfully and said: "Good morning, Sir Gerald, Lady Maud."
Gwenda saw what had attracted her father's notice. Sir Gerald had a purse attached to his belt by a leather thong. The purse bulged. It looked as if it contained several hundred of the small, thin silver pennies, halfpennies and farthings that were the English currency-as much money as Pa could earn in a year if he had been able to find employment. It would be more than enough to feed the family until the spring ploughing. The purse might even contain a few foreign gold coins, florins from Florence or ducats from Venice.
Gwenda had a small knife in a wooden sheath hanging from a cord around her neck. The sharp blade would quickly cut the thong and cause the fat purse to fall into her small hand-unless Sir Gerald felt something strange and grabbed her before she could do the deed ...
Godwyn raised his voice over the rumble of talk. "For the love of Christ, who teaches us charity, breakfast will be provided after the All Hallows' service," he said. "Meanwhile, there is pure drinking water in the courtyard fountain. Please remember to use the latrines outside-no pissing indoors!"
The monks and nuns were strict about cleanliness. Last night, Godwyn had caught a six-year-old boy peeing in a corner, and had expelled the whole family. Unless they had a penny for a tavern, they would have had to spend the cold October night shivering on the stone floor of the cathedral's north porch. There was also a ban on animals. Gwenda's three-legged dog, Hop, had been banished. She wondered where he had spent the night.
When all the lamps were lit, Godwyn opened the big wooden door to the outside. The night air bit sharply at Gwenda's ears and the tip of her nose. The overnight guests pulled their coats around them and began to shuffle out. When Sir Gerald and his family moved off, Pa and Ma fell into line behind them, and Gwenda and Philemon followed suit.
Philemon had done the stealing until now, but yesterday he had almost been caught, at Kingsbridge Market. He had palmed a small jar of expensive oil from the booth of an Italian merchant, then he had dropped the jar, so that everyone saw it. Mercifully, it had not broken when it hit the ground. He had been forced to pretend that he had accidentally knocked it off the stall.
Until recently Philemon had been small and unobtrusive, like Gwenda, but in the last year he had grown several inches, developed a deep voice, and become awkward and clumsy, as if he could not get used to his new, larger body. Last night, after the incident with the jar of oil, Pa had announced that Philemon was now too big for serious thieving, and henceforth it was Gwenda's job.
That was why she had lain awake for so much of the night.
Philemon's name was really Holger. When he was ten years old, he had decided he was going to be a monk, so he told everyone he had changed his name to Philemon, which sounded more religious. Surprisingly, most people had gone along with his wish, though Ma and Pa still called him Holger.
They passed through the door and saw two lines of shivering nuns holding burning torches to light the pathway from the hospital to the great west door of Kingsbridge Cathedral. Shadows flickered at the edges of the torchlight, as if the imps and hobgoblins of the night were cavorting just out of sight, kept at a distance only by the sanctity of the nuns.
Gwenda half expected to see Hop waiting outside, but he was not there. Perhaps he had found somewhere warm to sleep. As they walked to the church, Pa made sure they stayed close to Sir Gerald. From behind, someone tugged painfully at Gwenda's hair. She squealed, thinking it was a goblin; but when she turned she saw Wulfric, her six-year-old neighbor. He darted out of her reach, laughing. Then his father growled "Behave!" and smacked his head, and the little boy began to cry.
The vast church was a shapeless mass towering above the huddled crowd. Only the lowest parts were distinct, arches and mullions picked out in orange and red by the uncertain torchlight. The procession slowed as it approached the cathedral entrance, and Gwenda could see a group of townspeople coming from the opposite direction. There were hundreds of them, Gwenda thought, maybe thousands, although she was not sure how many people made a thousand, for she could not count that high.
The crowd inched through the vestibule. The restless light of the torches fell on the sculpted figures around the walls, making them dance madly. At the lowest level were demons and monsters. Gwenda stared uneasily at dragons and griffins, a bear with a man's head, a dog with two bodies and one muzzle. Some of the demons struggled with humans: a devil put a noose around a man's neck, a fox-like monster dragged a woman by her hair, an eagle with hands speared a naked man. Above these scenes the saints stood in a row under sheltering canopies; over them the apostles sat on thrones; then, in the arch over the main door, Saint Peter with his key and Saint Paul with a scroll looked adoringly upward at Jesus Christ.
Gwenda knew that Jesus was telling her not to sin, or she would be tortured by demons; but humans frightened her more than demons. If she failed to steal Sir Gerald's purse, she would be whipped by her father. Worse, there would be nothing for the family to eat but soup made with acorns. She and Philemon would be hungry for weeks on end. Ma's breasts would dry up, and the new baby would die, as the last two had. Pa would disappear for days, and come back with nothing for the pot but a scrawny heron or a couple of squirrels. Being hungry was worse than being whipped-it hurt longer.
She had been taught to pilfer at a young age: an apple from a stall, a new-laid egg from under a neighbor's hen, a knife dropped carelessly on a tavern table by a drunk. But stealing money was different. If she were caught robbing Sir Gerald it would be no use bursting into tears and hoping to be treated as a naughty child, as she had once after thieving a pair of dainty leather shoes from a soft-hearted nun. Cutting the strings of a knight's purse was no childish peccadillo, it was a real grown-up crime, and she would be treated accordingly.
She tried not to think about it. She was small and nimble and quick, and she would take the purse stealthily, like a ghost-provided she could keep from trembling.
The wide church was already thronged with people. In the side aisles, hooded monks held torches that cast a restless red glow. The marching pillars of the nave reached up into darkness. Gwenda stayed close to Sir Gerald as the crowd pushed forward toward the altar. The red-bearded knight and his thin wife did not notice her. Their two boys paid no more attention to her than to the stone walls of the cathedral. Gwenda's family fell back and she lost sight of them.
The nave filled up quickly. Gwenda had never seen so many people in one place: it was busier than the cathedral green on market day. People greeted one another cheerfully, feeling safe from evil spirits in this holy place, and the sound of all their conversations mounted to a roar.
Then the bell tolled, and they fell silent.
Sir Gerald was standing by a family from the town. They all wore cloaks of fine cloth, so they were probably rich wool dealers. Next to the knight stood a girl about ten years old. Gwenda stood behind Sir Gerald and the girl. She tried to make herself inconspicuous but, to her dismay, the girl looked at her and smiled reassuringly, as if to tell her not to be frightened.
Around the edges of the crowd the monks extinguished their torches, one by one, until the great church was in utter darkness.
Gwenda wondered if the rich girl would remember her later. She had not merely glanced at Gwenda then ignored her, as most people did. She had noticed her, had thought about her, had anticipated that she might be scared, and had given her a friendly smile. But there were hundreds of children in the cathedral. She could not have got a very clear impression of Gwenda's features in the dim light ... could she? Gwenda tried to put the worry out of her mind.
Invisible in the darkness, she stepped forward and slipped noiselessly between the two figures, feeling the soft wool of the girl's cloak on one side and the stiffer fabric of the knight's old surcoat on the other. Now she was in a position to get at the purse.
She reached into her neckline and took the little knife from its sheath.
The silence was broken by a terrible scream. Gwenda had been expecting it-Ma had explained what was going to happen during the service-but, all the same, she was shocked. It sounded like someone being tortured.
Then there was a harsh drumming sound, as of someone beating on a metal plate. More noises followed: wailing, mad laughter, a hunting horn, a rattle, animal noises, a cracked bell. In the congregation, a child started to cry, and others joined in. Some of the adults laughed nervously. They knew the noises were made by the monks, but all the same it was a hellish cacophony.
This was not the moment to take the purse, Gwenda thought fearfully. Everyone was tense, alert. The knight would be sensitive to any touch.
The devilish noise grew louder, then a new sound intervened: music. At first it was so soft that Gwenda was not sure she had really heard it, then gradually it grew louder. The nuns were singing. Gwenda felt her body flood with tension. The moment was approaching. Moving like a spirit, imperceptible as the air, she turned so that she was facing Sir Gerald.
She knew exactly what he was wearing. He had on a heavy wool robe gathered at the waist by a broad studded belt. His purse was tied to the belt with a leather thong. Over the robe he wore an embroidered surcoat, costly but worn, with yellowing bone buttons down the front. He had done up some of the buttons, but not all, probably out of sleepy laziness, or because the walk from the hospital to the church was so short.
With a touch as light as possible, Gwenda put one small hand on his coat. She imagined her hand was a spider, so weightless that he could not possibly feel it. She ran her spider hand across the front of his coat and found the opening. She slipped her hand under the edge of the coat and along his heavy belt until she came to the purse.
The pandemonium faded as the music grew louder. From the front of the congregation came a murmur of awe. Gwenda could see nothing, but she knew that a lamp had been lit on the altar, illuminating a reliquary, an elaborately carved ivory-and-gold box holding the bones of St Adolphus, that had not been there when the lights went out. The crowd surged forward, everyone trying to get closer to the holy remains. As Gwenda felt herself squashed between Sir Gerald and the man in front of him, she brought up her right hand and put the edge of the knife to the thong of his purse.
