the door in the wall

Robin finally asks his father if he does not mind that he now has to walk on crutches. His father, Sir John responds that Robin’s courage and craftsmanship make him so “bright a light” that he cannot even notice his handicapped legs. His mother says she is relieved because it means he will never have to go to war. She announces that Robin will now come home to London and Brother Luke will come to be his tutor. Robin falls asleep that night; when he wakes up, Brother Luke reminds him that he is safe and “hast found the door in thy wall.”
