"Queen" is in it. It's pretty short. It may be the simplest story I've ever
read by Wolfe. That is, I felt I knew what it was about before I even
finished it. I don't think I would be giving away anything that isn't quite
obvious, but here is some spoiler space.













It's an overtly religious story about the Assumption of Mary.
