Recess was over, and the foreign ministers of East and West headed back to the rote and routine of Geneva. Most of them had sensibly spent the three-week holiday away from their books.

Except for an unsuccessful attempt to study for the priesthood ("I couldn't see it through for psychological reasons") and a three-week protest walkout (he objected to the installation of a TV set in the priory), Everson has served faithfully, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, making beds and working in the print shop.
