in action
> "....I for my part, unable to recall any sins I had committed,
what a curious thing to say.
>"....Guy d'Ibelin, Constable of Cyprus, knelt down beside me, and confessed
himself to me. ‘I absolve you,' I said to him, ‘with such power as God has
granted me.'

>However, when I rose to my feet, I could not remember a word of what he had
