Crispin: Cross of Lead Chapter 55 Summary

  • Astonished by the size of the hall, Crispin nonetheless manages to make his way to a small, brightly lit room on the other side of it.
  • The room contains more gold and jewels than Crispin has ever seen and appears to be a small chapel.
  • There's a painting of the Virgin Mary by the cross. A knight is painted looking up at her—a knight with Crispin's face.
  • Crispin realizes that the knight is Lord Furnival, his father.
  • He doesn't want anything to do with Lord Furnival and prays that God will judge the lord justly.
  • And wouldn't you know it, just then John Aycliffe walks in.
