The first request she made to her aunt on the way to mass, early in the morning of the first day of her stay in Schweinau, was an entreaty for permission to work in the hospital.

Well, I hadn't been gone a month, when I got a letter from the man I worked with, the one who had the woman first he's dead now, poor fellow; they found him at his hut door with his throat cut and what do you think he said to me?
