“I wasn’t normally unfriendly. Being rude didn’t work for me in life. It wasn’t a quirk or a ruse. I liked being nice, but Bishop Manfield made it almost impossible to be nice. He was so quiet, his silence was too loud. He was short when he did speak and that irked me, especially when I wasn’t being rude to him and he was imposing. A man child. Too tall and too long to sit next to me until we had to move seats again.”
