As he moved slowly between the graves, lantern steady in the fog, he distributed such comfort and kindness and mercy, that not one soul felt forgotten or lost or small, however lonely or inconsequential they had felt in life, however brief their time.

As a knitter, I can testify that bad experience with moths in one’s stash of yarn is a nightmare. Involves washing out, drying, and freezing (!) the yarn to kill lurking larvae.
