The villagers of Quintas, Portugal, have confessed to Father Pessoa of seeing glowing lights in the sky, angels who lie with village women, and a virgin birth. The simpleton king, Alfonso, has also seen God fall to Earth in a ship, and has been told of its voyages through the stars. The Inquisitor-General is eager to learn more of this heresy.
