babies coming dead is something I will never get used to

walking out of the chamber i call rollo in

"Why does he get to meet the baby"

my poor bird

morwenna grabs our shoulders

"Only God shall meet this baby"
she says in her thick accent

"lynette come we will get you bathed and into clothes that are not covered in dirt and blood"

"cathrine and lynette,Whatever are you doing"

"How were we to know that comely young women are a spiritual danger to monks"

"You are no danger to anyone but yourselves Does mother heal"

"Our brute of a father is no help
Do you know what I find even worse than the pains she bears? That she must worry about us always Forever. She can never stop Being a mother is a terrible job."

"I agree"
