Thomas usEd to love the seRvices each morning in the monastery. But he had changed and now they seemed all nonsense to him. He would frequently find something to laugh at and putting on a pious expression was now impossible. With mutual agreement he and the abbot parted company. As they parted company, the abbot had a streaming cold and fever so the hanky had nothing to do with him being a cryer over losing one of the community but all to do with him wanting to return to bed. Thomas settled in a pleasant town and took a job as a dryer of dishes at a restaurant. He loved his change of lifestyle and would often refer back to his previous existence as tedium nonsense in the extreme.
