+The fire burned on, the good fathers continued to sprinkle and intone.
+Suddenly a flock of pigeons came swooping down from the church and
+started to wheel around the roaring column of flame and smoke. The
+crowd shouted, the archers waved their halberds at the birds, Lactance
+and Tranquille splashed them on the wing with holy water. In vain. The
+pigeons were not to be driven away. Round and round they flew, diving
+through the smoke, singeing their feathers in the flames. Both parties
+claimed a miracle. For the parson's enemies the birds, quite obviously,
+were a troop of devils, come to fetch away his soul. For his friends,
+they were emblems of the Holy Ghost and living proof of his innocence.
+It never seems to have occurred to anyone that they were just pigeons,
+obeying the laws of their own, their blessedly other-than-human nature.
