Ah Right I can see that now thanks a bundle for all the comments you are sending through
LN better late than never I am just at the moment only too aware of how Life off the net
gets in the way - I am selectively bookbuying for to start at college in September and I find
I am wandering into borders and on line at Amazon and the OUP (best)
thanks again
Patricia

the Inn]
Possibly, although my guess is that it could just as easily *not* be
meant as an explanation of the lack of hospitality, more a sort of a
"oh by the way, did I mention, the Christian faith was still new to
Greenland" - as if the writer, or whoever added these words, was
reminded of the fact by the anecdote they were just beginning. So it
could be an explanation in advance of the sinister goings on that are
about to be recounted.
