Strange, terrible noises are coming from Helena Mohiam’s office in the Salon of Doves…
“What’s she doing in there?”
“Be quiet, Linnea, or we’ll all get what Geralinda is getting.”
“What is she getting?”
“Punished. Geralinda is getting punished by the Reverend Mother for letting that Spanish woman escape.”
The awful cries, a little girl begging for her mommy, for Reitia Mother, for anyone continue, spaced with worse silences.
The Guild registered Courtesan, pale as a sheet, crosses herself.
“Geralinda can’t stand the dark. She sleeps with a lantern always on. She fell into a well when she was a child and was down there for four days before someone got her out. She even uses that awful stinking dye because her hair is natural black. Geralinda is afraid of the dark, and I don’t see a light under that door. Get away, Linnea.”
