So could his Order - 'black' (OK fuligin) clothing, prohibition of 
marriage, primacy of absolute obedience ('Torturers Obey') and their 
method of selecting recruits: other than boy babies born within their 
Tower, the Seekers of Truth and Penitence will take and educate male 
children who come to them (presumably with their condemned parent/s) who 
are able to stand beneath a certain metal bar which projects at about 3 
ft. ('the height of a man's groin' - or similar, I don't have the book 
in front of me right now) from a bulkhead.

'Give me a child before he is seven years old and he is mine for life'.
