They Would Stretch The Bounds Of One’s Credulity Beyond The Realms Of Possibility, And Yet, She Always Made Me ‘want To Believe Them’. I Have Taken The Germ Of Her Fact And Added A Bit Of My Fiction With A Dash Of Author Licence. ‘the Priest’s Calling Card’ Is About A Portlaw Priest Who Leaves His Walking Stick Outside Any House He Visits As A Sign Of His Presence There And With The Clear Understanding He Is Never To Be Interrupted During His Home Visits By Any Other Callers To The House Where He Is.
