A Trespass in Time
“She didn’t blame Greta for not trusting her now to act appropriately. Hell, Ella didn’t trust herself. And the last thing she wanted to do was endanger the nunnery. They had enough troubles. When she went to bed that night, Ella was more exhausted than she could ever remember. Surprised that a quiet day spent baking bread and cleaning a kitchen could tire her so, she went to bed before dinner and slept deeply. When she awoke, she was sure she had dreamt about her mother. She began he...r day of baking and cleaning full of good spirits and peace. The days turned into weeks as Ella fell into a natural rhythm in the convent. Surrounded by female company—something she had never experienced as an only and motherless child—she discovered a love for the sound of women’s voices and laughter. She spoke rudimentary German to the young novices and even developed a way of communicating with them that included teasing and personal jokes. When one girl went to bed with menstrual cramps, Ella brought her tea and massaged her shoulders.MoreLess
